Animal Charity Evaluators has named The Humane League a Top Charity for every year running. Here’s why this honour matters.
If you want to end the abuse of animals, it can be hard to figure out how to have the greatest impact. Which animals need the most help? Which organisations are the most effective at creating real change? Where’s the best place to volunteer your time or make a donation? Where will your advocacy go the farthest for the animals?
That’s where Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) comes in. Since 2012, ACE has helped people help animals by doing the work of finding, researching, and recommending the most effective animal advocacy groups. Their advice on the best animal charities to donate to, work at, or volunteer with, isn’t just based on sound evidence and rigorous reasoning. It’s also grounded in their commitment to improving the lives of animals at the broadest possible scale. They’re looking for impact, because the stakes are higher than ever. Millions of animals are suffering on factory farms in the UK alone each year.
That’s why we’re honoured to share that Animal Charity Evaluators has selected The Humane League as a Top Charity for 2021. We are the only organisation to earn this recognition every year it’s been awarded. We’ve consistently been recognised for our work amplifying the animal advocacy movement and our success taking on corporate giants.
Of course, the progress we’ve made could never have happened without our community of supporters who believe in this work, who rise up against injustice, and who go the distance with us to end the abuse of animals raised for food. Our shared movement is changing the world for animals.
What is Animal Charity Evaluators?
ACE is a charity navigator that offers advice on the most effective ways to help animals and prevent the largest amount of suffering. As an effective altruist organisation that seeks to make the world a better place using evidence and reasoning, ACE conducts extensive research to discover and evaluate the most impactful animal charities in the nation.
To date, ACE has reviewed over 350 groups and influenced donors to give over $26 million in gifts to the charities ACE recommends most highly.
Each year, ACE evaluates these advocacy groups through multiple rounds of review. ACE ultimately chooses the four Top Charities based on the efficiency of their programs, the cost-effectiveness of their victories, their track record of achievement, their healthy work culture, their long-term strategy, and their adaptability to keep doing what’s working and stop doing what’s not.
In short, ACE recognises the organisations that make the greatest amount of change for the most animals in the most efficient way.
Why is The Humane League a top rated animal welfare charity?
The Humane League strives to do the most good for the most animals. Effectiveness is one of our core values, because we’re committed to having the biggest impact we possibly can in the lives of animals raised for food. That’s why we’ve been recognised by ACE year after year.
What you can do
The food sector is big and powerful, and so creating change for animals takes a community working together. We can’t do it alone, but when we come together, we can disrupt “business as usual” in our profit-driven food system and change the lives of millions of innocent animals.
