Doing the most good we can

ACE and Giving Green

Both ACE and Giving Green conduct rigorous research and evaluation to recommend highly effective nonprofits whose work improves the lives of animals and combats climate change, respectively.

ACE’s evaluation focuses on several pillars, including the effectiveness of programs, cost-effectiveness, room for funding, and culture. Their evaluation highlighted that GFI’s programs result in the increased availability of animal-free products, a very-high priority outcome for ACE. They assessed the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of our programs to be very high and noted GFI’s room for more funding. 

Giving Green recommended GFI based on our accomplishments, organizational strengths, strategic approach, and cost-effectiveness. They called out GFI’s success in securing public funding for alternative proteins and our role in creating an ecosystem of support for alternative proteins. Ultimately, Giving Green concluded that we are a top nonprofit for fighting climate change and one of the most cost-effective giving opportunities they have identified.

These two new recommendations join a recommendation by Founders Pledge, a charitable initiative that conducts rigorous analysis to find outstandingly impactful giving opportunities for their members across a range of cause areas. Founders Pledge recommends GFI as one of the most cost-effective animal advocacy organizations in the world.
