How your gift frees hens
Cage Free Fund recipients aim to make the USA’s eggs 50% cage-free by the end of 2026
As of June, they’ve reached 45.7%.
Every donation gets us closer to achieving this goal!
Conventional caged hens spend their life in a cage no bigger than an iPad, not even able to spread their wings. These animals would naturally spend their day foraging, dust bathing and forming friendships.

Your gift, used wisely
You worked hard for that money! We want to make sure your generous donations do the most good possible.
Cage-free campaigns have been one of the most reliable and cost-effective ways to reduce farmed animal suffering: Free 3 chickens from cages for every dollar you give!
All the charities in this fund have been vetted by independent, expert grant-makers: These campaigns have more than a decade of wins to demonstrate their impact and cost-effectiveness.
FarmKind doesn't take a cut of your donation: We’re funded by grants and large donors, so we can pass on your entire donation to the charities (minus small fees taken by some payment providers).

Your donation doubled: Donating through FarmKind is the only way to secure a match for your donation to this cage free fund. Additionally, if you are a US tax payer, you will receive a tax receipt for your gift, via our nonprofit payment provider Every.org, making your gift especially efficient.
We're an independently funded non-profit: This means we pass on 100% of your donations to our recommended charities, and we have no conflicts of interest. We work with trusted third parties like Every.org and Stripe to ensure your donation reaches its destination.
We do the research for you: The top animal charities can help hundreds (if not thousands) of animals with the same donation that some well-known animal charities need to help just one. But identifying the most effective animal charities requires extensive research that's impractical for individual donors. We've done that work by building off the top charity selections of Animal Charity Evaluators (who conduct rigorous, public evaluations) and consulting with expert grantmakers to curate this fund and our charity recommendations.
-
Absolutely! Simply begin your donation through our platform. Once you reach the payment stage at Every.org, choose the 'DAF' option. If you have any questions or difficulties, please contact us (details here) and we'll be happy to help.
Note that donating to FarmKind’s EIN directly via your DAF provider is strongly dispreferred as this will donate to FarmKind's operations rather than going directly to our recommended charities, plus it incurs a fee from our fiscal sponsor, Player's Philanthropy Fund.
