Context

A few years ago, the Programs team at Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) assembled a longlist of charities to select from when considering which charities to invite for evaluation. This is a list of all farmed animal advocacy organizations around the world that we are aware of, collated from existing directories such as the World Federation for Animals Directory.

More recently, ACE has also used this list to help estimate the neglectedness of farmed animal advocacy within each country, which informs our Impact Potential assessment for the charities we evaluate.

ACE's list of farmed animal advocacy organizations

We have shared a public version of this list in case of use to others in the movement. It comprises a list of farmed animal advocacy charities around the world and a provisional estimate of the number of farmed animal advocacy charities per country. The list is not exhaustive, and we expect it will contain some significant omissions. We plan to continue updating this list, so we welcome suggestions for additional charities to include and for any other relevant sources of information.

ACE also evaluates charities that focus on wild animal welfare (of which there are very few), but this list solely includes farmed animal advocacy charities.

N.B. The charities listed are not necessarily endorsed by ACE, and each charity may or may not agree with ACE’s mission or methods.

Inclusion Criteria

The charities included in this list appear to dedicate a significant proportion of their resources to farmed animal advocacy. This includes charities that primarily focus on other areas (e.g., animals used for entertainment, companion animals, or environmental conservation). In practice, “a significant proportion” is difficult to define and assess, so this list is inevitably somewhat subjective.

This list also includes organizations offering direct help to farmed animals (for example, by providing veterinary care and shelter for rescued farmed animals), where these appear to dedicate a significant proportion of their resources to broader efforts to change public opinion, policy, or industry practices related to farmed animals. Again, this interpretation is bound to be somewhat subjective, and we welcome suggestions for additional charities to include (https://animalcharityevaluators.org/about/contact-us/).
