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 45% 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 24 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 more 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
Why fixing factory farming matters
Kinder farming is better for everyone..
Frequently asked questions

Unless you choose a specific charity, your donation will go to FarmKind’s Impact Fund, which is made up of all six of our recommended charities. This includes both charities working to protect animals from suffering today, and those helping to evolve our food system towards a more sustainable, kinder future.
You’ll help eliminate cruel practices for chickens and pigs, such as confining hens to tiny cages and mutilating piglets. You’ll spare fish from suffering in overcrowded, dirty water and ensure shrimp are slaughtered humanely. You’ll help promote alternative protein innovation and lobby for deregulation of new technologies and removal of unfair subsidies, reducing our reliance on factory-farmed products. All together, you’ll help create a more humane and sustainable food system, benefiting humans, animals, and the environment.
Our six recommended charities are: The Humane League, The Good Food Institute, Sinergia Animal, Shrimp Welfare Project, Fish Welfare Initiative and Dansk Vegetarisk Forening. Meet them here.

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 our recommendations.
We're an independently funded non-profit: This means we pass on 100% of your donations to our recommended charities — we don’t take a cut. It also means that our recommendations are totally independent — our only priority is to help you find and fund some of the very best charities working to end factory farming.

1. Rigorous evaluation: All our charities must have been rigorously assessed by independent charity evaluators, like Animal Charity Evaluators, with detailed public reports available. Our selection was refined in consultation with professional grantmakers. This means that our recommendations are backed up by thousands of hours of research to understand how much good difference charities can do with your donation.
2. Track record: Our charities’ track records speak for themselves: They have secured commitments from over 500 major companies (Walmart, KFC, PepsiCo) to phase out cruel practices, helped increase cage-free egg production in the US from 5% to 45%, and influenced hundreds of millions of dollars in government funding for alternative proteins. These aren't theoretical future changes — they're concrete, measurable wins that in many cases have already improved conditions for millions of animals, with transparent documentation of how donations translate to results.
