HistoryAbout

ACE was founded in 2012, under2012 and uses evidence and reason to serve people who want to help animals. Trillions of animals experience extensive but avoidable suffering on farms and in the namewild, which motivates its team to contribute to a world where all animals can flourish regardless of Effective Animal Activism, as a branch of 80,000 Hours. It adopted its current nametheir species. ACE works toward this by identifying where donations can best help animals and became an independent organization in 2013.^[1] awarding grants to promising projects that help animals around the globe.

Every year, ACE publishes a list of "top charities", singled out as "top"Recommended Charities" after spending several months evaluating animal advocacy organizations to identify those that work effectively and are able to do the most good with additional donations. Its goal is to help people help animals by providing donors with impactful giving opportunities and as ideal examples of effective advocacy." In addition, they highlight a number of "standout charities", which "conduct strong workthat can reduce animal suffering to the greatest extent possible. You can view 2023's Recommended Charities on behalf of animals" but which for various reasons do not attain the status of a top charity. As of June 2022, ACE's top charities are Faunalytics, The Humane League, and Wild Animal Initiativetheir website.
