Hi! We're researchers from Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE), a 501(c)(3) non-profit that uses evidence and reason to help people help animals. We conduct charity evaluations to identify the organizations that will likely make the most significant difference for animals. We publish a list of recommended charities to promote organizations that can do the most good for animals with additional donations. We are transparent about our evaluation methods and processes and actively improve them each year.
On November 12, we will be releasing our 2024 charity recommendations and on November 19, we will be hosting an Ask Me Anything (AMA) Event on the FAST Forum between 8-10am PT.
The AMA is your chance to ask our Researchers about our new charity recommendations and the process behind our selections. We will prioritize responding to questions about our recommendations, but feel free to ask us (almost) anything.
Our team answering questions is:
- Elisabeth Ormandy, Programs Director
- Vince Mak, Charity Evaluations Manager
- Maria Salazar, Senior Researcher
- Max Taylor, Researcher
- Zuzana Sperlova, Researcher

We look forward to answering your questions!
