Animal Charity Evaluators is a 501(c)(3) non-profit located in the United States. Our mission is to find and promote the most effective ways to help animals. You can find our strategic plan and our position statement on this site. We do this by analyzing research on methods of helping animals in order to provide research about interventions and top-charity recommendations. We offer suggestions on being a more effective animal advocate by providing career, charity, and volunteering advice, and also plan on working with other organizations to help them conduct their own research. You can find a more detailed explanation of our philosophy as an organization in our Position Statement.
