DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERVENTION
The best-evidenced animal welfare interventions are amongst the most cost-effective, but remain critically underfunded.
Faunalytics estimates that, globally, the total budget of all organizations working exclusively to relieve the terrible suffering of factory-farmed animals is just $120 million/yr. Less than the budget of ASPCA. Even in other effective giving organizations, of the donations we’ve analyzed, less than 1 in 10 dollars goes towards farmed animal welfare charities.
Thus, strategies that have been shown to be effective in relieving animal suffering can’t scale quickly, making it much harder for new organizations to experiment with promising new interventions.
FarmKind’s mission is to help close the funding gap for some of the most impactful animal welfare charities. We’re launching an online donation platform to reach a wide audience of potential new donors to effective animal charities.
