Pecky went from a cage the size of a piece of printer paper to having the freedom to stretch her wings. Her story shows how we can transform the lives of factory farmed animals — but only with your help.

Hear from our donors..

“I like that FarmKind digs into the research to find really impactful charities. They estimate how many animals my donation will help, which gives me confidence that my donation is making a real difference”

Pecky’s story

Like most egg-laying hens in America, Pecky spent most of her life in a small metal cage about with about as much space as a piece of printer paper, unable even to stretch her wings.

Barely able to move, the wire of the cage cutting into her feet. Surrounded by the noise of thousands of other chickens. Her nostrils filled with burning fumes from their dung. This is the reality for millions of chickens today. We’ll spare you the images, but you can view them if you choose here.

But today, Pecky is one of the few lucky chickens. She, along with 435 other chickens from the same operation, was rescued. She now lives at a local sanctuary where she spends her days doing what chickens naturally love: taking dust baths, foraging in green pastures, and living freely among other rescued hens. For the first time in her life, she can spread her wings.

All animals deserve our protection

Pecky's story of transformation is beautiful, but sadly still rare. Today, 99% of farm animals live on factory farms, kept in unnatural, often dirty and stressful conditions.

These animals are not really that different from the animals we love and live with. Cows are playful and love solving puzzles, like dogs. Pigs can form strong bonds with people, like Lulu who saved her owner’s life! Chickens can even be sneaky, with roosters pretending food is nearby to attract hens.

We can help protect them and give them better lives. FarmKind works with experts to recommend top charities making the biggest difference for factory farmed animals like Pecky and working to make farming kinder. Through successful campaigns by charities like The Humane League, tens of millions of hens have been spared from ever experiencing the cage that trapped Pecky.

What other donors have to say..

Laura Sofia Castro
Charity founder, Reluctant meat eater, FarmKind donor

“I always felt guilty about factory farming but changing my diet felt overwhelming. Donating through FarmKind lets me help animals in a way that fits with my lifestyle. It feels good to live more in line with my values.”

Benjamin Lopez Barba
Software engineer, Board gamer, FarmKind donor

“I love donating to FarmKind. I feel good knowing that every month I am sending out a bundle of positive change and hope to the animals in need around the world. Thanks to FarmKind's research, can support six top charities that tackle factory farming from different angles”

Micaella Rogers
Researcher, Vegetarian, FarmKind donor

“Big fan of the compassion calculator. While I am mostly vegetarian, I haven't felt ready to commit to a fully plant based diet. Really happy I felt able to confidently offset the difference until I'm ready to make the full lifestyle change"

    • 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.")

  • 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 then recommended 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 at least some of your donations to these charities, 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, when you donate through FarmKind, your donation can receive a boost of up to 70%.

  • Yes. FarmKind a non-profit funded by philanthropic grants.

    100% of donations on our platform go to users' chosen charities. We do not take a cut or charge any fees.

    We don’t allow charities to pay us to recommend or promote them. This means you can trust that all our charity recommendations are free of bias and fully independent.

  • We don’t share your personal information with the charities you donate to through FarmKind. When you make a donation with us, you’ll be directed to our trusted donation platform provider, Every.org.

How far can your gift go?

  • Alicia Silverstone, Actress

    "If you ever have a chance to meet a cow, pig, turkey, or goat, you will see that they are just as cute and funny as your dogs and cats and that they, too, want to live and feel love. They don't like pain."

    Alicia Silverstone, Actress

  • "FarmKind makes it possible for almost anyone to make a concrete difference towards a future food system that is sustainable for humanity and kind to animals"

    Rutger Bregman, Historian and Best-selling Author

  • “Technological advances, as well as the global desire for cheap meat, have turned this into an age of animal cruelty. But we can also see glimmers of how it might, one day, end… But that future is not assured. It must be created, and The Humane League, Good Food Institute [and others] are trying to do just that.”

    Ezra Klein, New York Times

  • Jane Goodall, Zoologist

    "It's now proven that each animal, that the cow, pig, sheep, goat, rabbit, poultry or any other species used for food, is an individual, an individual capable of feeling depression, fear and pain. The conditions of animals in factory farms are unacceptable, crammed into tiny spaces, they're often treated with extreme cruelty."

    Jane Goodall, Zoologist

  • “Factory farming is a really corporate system that’s pushing [real American farmers] out and creating a very inhumane way of creating our food. It’s also the number one contributor to pollution — more than cars. If you care about the environment you should care about factory farming and changing farming practices.”

    Natalie Portman, Actress

  • “By being both smart and kind we can end the suffering inflicted on billions of the most neglected individuals. I am eager and excited to see FarmKind make it even easier for people to contribute to a more hospitable world for all.”

    Stien van der Ploeg, Animal Charity Evaluators

  • Peter Singer

    “If you want to reduce the suffering of animals, then supporting organizations working to improve the lives of factory-farmed animals is the most effective way to do it. That's why I support FarmKind’s aim, to encourage more people to donate to highly effective charities addressing this issue. For animals, for people, and for the planet, ending factory farming is essential.”

    Peter Singer, Author and Ethics Professor

  • “I believe that donating to great organisations fighting against factory farming is the single most impactful thing an individual can do to reduce suffering in the world. FarmKind makes it easy for anyone to be a part of the solution, regardless of their diet.”

    Marcus Daniell, Professional Tennis Player

Balance your meals with your ideals: It’s like carbon offsets, but for your diet!

Not everyone is willing or able to cut meat and dairy out their diet. But almost all of us can give, even a little, to help.

We’ve built a calculator to help you donate an amount that does as much good to fix factory farming as your diet contributes to it.

We don’t take a cut!

Here’s how it works:

  • We’re funded by philanthropic grants, so that all of your donation can go to your chosen charities

  • Every.org forwards your donation to charity — they don’t charge any fees either.

  • The only fees deducted from donations are payment processing fees (e.g. Visa, Mastercard, Paypal). Bank transfers and DAF payments have 0% fees.

Example $100 donation by card
