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
Why it matters
Kinder farming is better for everyone..
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.
Meet the animals you'll help..
“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”
Hear from our donors..
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.

“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 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%.

“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.”

“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.”

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 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 always have 0% fees.
Example $100 donation by card
