Making a difference for farm animals is easier than you think
Support proven charities fighting factory farming — No diet change required!
You can transform animals’ lives!
Ginger went from a cage the size of a piece of 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.
Ginger’s story
Like most egg-laying hens in America, Ginger 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 the smell of their dung. This is the reality for millions of chickens today.
But today, Ginger 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
Ginger'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 Ginger and working to make farming kinder.

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 such as Peter Singer, Professor and best-selling author of books like "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%.

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

"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."

For animals, for people, and for the planet, ending factory farming is essential.”
