How your donation helps animals
What our recommended charities do
Win corporate commitments to phase out cruel practices (like ‘battery cages’ for hens and confining mother pigs)
Persuade governments to support the move to a fairer, kinder and more sustainable food system
Help companies to produce food without factory farming, making cruelty-free options better and more available
See their impact in action
The Humane League (THL) has successfully pressured >300 major companies like Walmart and McDonald’s to commit to cage-free eggs
They’ve helped increase egg production in the US go from 4% to 40% cage-free over the past decade. Donating $10 to THL protects 8 hens from a life of cruel confinement
Sinergia has convinced 25 major South American food companies to stop keeping mother pigs like Luna in crates so small they can't turn around. Just $10 can help transform the lives of 48 animals!
Through public pressure campaigns, Sinergia has secured 152 corporate commitments to stop using eggs from caged hens where they can't spread their wings.
The Good Food Institute (GFI) works globally with scientists, businesses, and policymakers to support innovation in plant-based and cell-cultured meat. This benefits both climate and animals
For example, they helped secure $390M in European government funding to develop sustainable alternatives to factory farming in 2022 alone
Good cop: DVF works with institutions to make climate-friendly food more accessible for everyone. For example, every $1 they spent on government investment campaigns in 2023 secured $68 in public funding for plant-based foods
Bad cop: They took Europe's largest pork producer Danish Crown to court for greenwashing and won, forcing them to stop misleading consumers about their environmental impact
Finn and his schoolmates can now breathe easily in clean water, instead of struggling in murky, polluted ponds.
They've improved living conditions for over 3.2 million fish and shrimp through their Alliance for Responsible Aquaculture in India
SWP provides humane slaughter equipment to ensure shrimp don't suffer slow, painful deaths by suffocation
Just $10 helps Bubbles and 13,000 of his friends receive quick, painless electrical stunning instead of slow suffocation

We work with trusted partners: FarmKind collaborates with Every.org, a non-profit donation platform that has processed over $62,000,000 in donations and is trusted by over 5,000 US non-profits. This way you can be confident your donations will reach your chosen charities and be put to good use to help animals.
We are independently funded: As a grant-funded non-profit, we don't take any cut from your donations – 100% goes to your chosen charities. Plus, none of the charities we recommend are paying us. This way, we have no financial incentives influencing our charity selections, guaranteeing unbiased, independent recommendations for donors like you.
We’re backed by respected voices: FarmKind has been featured in reputable press outlets including Forbes. We're also endorsed by prominent figures like Rutger Bregman (historian and best-selling author of books like “Utopia for Realists”) and Peter Singer (professor and best-selling author of "The Life You Can Save.")

Farm animals represent the largest source of animal suffering globally, yet receive just 3% of animal charity donations. When you donate to farm animal charities, even small amounts can create massive impact because funding is the single biggest bottleneck to fixing factory farming. For example, $12 per month to our recommended charities can protect almost 400 animals from the cruelest practices.
-
Our top animal charities are transparent, trustworthy and focused on delivering results. We only recommend charities that are transparent about how they use your donations and can show that they are making a real impact.
All our charities must have been rigorously assessed and recommended at least once by Animal Charity Evaluators, who are an independent organization that spends thousands of hours interrogating charities' operations to understand how much good they do with each donation. We also work with expert grant-makers to further refine our recommendations.
-
The top animal charities can help hundreds (if not thousands) of animals with the same donation that some of the best-known animal charities need to help just one.
But figuring out which are the best animal charities is too much work for any individual donor to take on. That's why we've done the homework for you, with our recommended charities.
By giving through FarmKind you can be confident your donation isn't going to waste and is going to make a big difference for the animals suffering in factory farms that desperately need your support.
Plus, if you choose to support our Impact Fund or Climate Fund, you can simultaneously support a number of complementary strategies for addressing factory farming: (a) Convincing corporations and lawmakers to phase out the cruelest farming practices, (b) Developing new cruelty-free alternative foods, (c) Making plant-based options more readily available for those who want them.

While diet change is a great way to help animals, the truth is, it’s not the only or even the best way.
Diet change can be hard: Many people find changing their diet very difficult. Others face cultural, financial, medical and practical barriers. We want to lower the barrier to entry for people to contribute to solving this global problem, regardless of their diet.
Donating is more accessible and scalable: Just $23/month to effective charities can do as much good as going completely vegan. Unlike diet change, there's no upper limit to how much good you can do through donations. Instead of focusing on harming as little as possible, we focus on preventing as much harm as possible — it's both a bigger and easier opportunity.
We’re not here to judge anyone: Anyone can be a part of the solution to factory farming. We want to expand the menu of options for how to get involved and celebrate anyone who wants to help, in whatever way works for them. Everyone is on their own journey with different circumstances and capabilities.
