Charity Evaluators

==Information for our visitors==
Animal Charity Evaluators very carefully allocates funds to the charity projects that give the greatest genuinely positive practical results.
We have chosen a fund focused on animal charities because they and environmental charities together only receive around 3 % of all donations to charities in the United States,Giving To Animals: New Data On Who And How; Original Study By: Anderson, J. (2018); Published: November 14, 2018 of which only 2 % (less than 0.06 % in total) goes to farmed animals,Why Farmed Animals?; Animal Charity Evaluators and because animals are generally treated far worse than even poor humans in this world, despite that dogs and many other animals are usually much kinder than most humans.
And here are the reasons why we selected Animal Charity Evaluators in particular:
*ACE offers four alternative funds of focus for people to donate to, depending on their personal preferences.
*They focus on donating to the charity projects that give the greatest amount of positive effects at the time, which means that they have a high degree of flexibility.
*They have different payment methods available, even including cryptocurrencies, and such payments can be made internationally.
*If our visitors want to donate to a more specific cause or geographic area, linking to the ACE site in the first place allows them to browse through the ACE's evaluations of different charities, and select one from there.
==Useful information for staff members from other wikis==
If staff members from other wikis also want to help out, here are our recommendations for how to find reliable charities, so you avoid accidentally promoting scams or inefficient charities where almost all the money goes to bureaucracy:
1. Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE): ACE evaluates animal charities based on their effectiveness, impact, and methods. ACE is valued within the effective altruism community for its focus on evidence and impact in the animal welfare space. They offer detailed evaluations of animal charities, emphasizing both effectiveness and neglectedness.

2. GiveWell: This organization is known for its in-depth research and strict criteria for recommending charities. They focus on transparency, cost-effectiveness, and evidence-backed interventions. The charities they recommend typically work in the fields of public health, poverty alleviation, and economic development.

3. The Life You Can Save: This platform recommends a list of effective charities based on evidence and efficiency. They span a range of issues from global health to economic empowerment.

4. Charity Navigator: One of the most well-known charity evaluators, Charity Navigator rates thousands of charities based on their financial health, accountability, and transparency. They are not always able to directly assess the impact and results of charities, but their ratings can help donors avoid organizations with administrative issues. However, as stated above, their metrics do not necessarily capture the overall effectiveness of every charity.

5. CharityWatch: They rate charities based on their financial efficiency and governance. Their methodology focuses on the percentage of funds that go to programs versus administration and fundraising. However, similarly to Charity Navigator, its evaluations seem to focus more on financial metrics than on overall effectiveness.

==Ask first please==
Bureaucrats from other communities very likely need to ask Fandom's official staff for permission before they are allowed to add charity advertisements to the bottom of the front pages for their respective home wikis. Please visit the link below to do so after you have chosen a reliable charity.
