Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US Grants to Recommended Charities: Animal Charity Evaluators evaluates charities based on several criteria, designed to assess their cost-effectiveness for helping animals. Those that perform the best on these criteria are named 'Recommrnded Charities'. We collect donations on their behalf and disburse these as recommended charity fund grants twice per year. To determine the grant amount for each recommended charity, we assess their room for more funding every 6 months. Recommended Charities can be fully re-evaluated every 2 years to ensure that they continue to use funds effectively. If, upon evaluation, we determine a supported charity no longer deserves our recommendation, we phase out collecting donations on their behalf.Research Fund Grants: Applications were evaluated based on (i) the relevance of the proposal to animal advocacy, (ii) the strength of the evidence that the study design is likely to achieve, and (iii) the likelihood of success. We required grant recipients to submit a detailed expense report and a summary of their research results, and required them to comply with an open science policy. We aim to follow up with grant holders at least twice a year.Movement Grants: Applications are evaluated during an extensive review process. We base our decisions on considerations including the expected impact and the probability the project will be carried out successfully. Grant recipients are required to sign an agreement to confirm they will use the funds for the intended purpose only. We require grant recipients to submit a report on their activities related to the grant including an expense report and their achievements made possible by the grant. true A JUST WORLD PO BOX 16464 SEATLE WA 98116 871509228 501(C)(3) 33000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION A WELL-FED WORLD 3936 S SEMORAN BLVD 271 ORLANDO FL 32822 270865905 501(C)(3) 20000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION ACTASIA INC 1511 ROUTE 22 SUITE 106 BREWSTER NY 10509 464200560 501(C)(3) 18500 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION ANIMAL ADVOCATES INTERNTL 10025 SW BOONES FERRY ROAD PORTLAND OR 97219 874488378 501(C)(3) 17000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION ANIMAL EQUALITY 8581 SANTA MONICA BLVD 350 LOS ANGELES CA 90069 472420444 501(C)(3) 15000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION ANIMAL ETHICS INC 4200 PARK BLVD129 OAKLAND CA 94602 461062870 501(C)(3) 5400 0 ANIMAL ADVOCACY RESEARCH FUND GRANT APEX ADVOCACY INC PO BOX 371656 DECATUR GA 30037 862799787 501(C)(3) 20000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION CASA VEGANA DE LA COMUNIDAD PO BOX 191336 SAN JUAN PR 00919 660946744 LLC 10000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION COMPASSION IN WORLD FARMING 211 EAST 43rd St 7th Floor NEW YORK NY 10017 461822635 501(C)(3) 54996 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION DHARMA VOICES FOR ANIMALS 176 SOLANA POINT CIRCLE SOLANA BEACH CA 92075 455372693 501(C)(3) 58746 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION FAUNALYTICS PO BOX 6476 OLYMPIA WA 98507 010686889 501(C)(3) 214076 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION FISH WELFARE INITIATIVE 3123 BUTTERFLY DRIVE NORMAL IL 61761 852065536 501(C)(3) 232649 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION HEALTHIER HENS 1623 FREMONT AVE APT B SOUTH PASADENA CA 91030 881680823 501(C)(3) 20000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION KARUNA FOUNDATION 7522 MONARCH ROAD NIWOT CO 80503 854026412 501(C)(3) 20000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION LEGAL IMPACT FOR CHICKENS 2108 N STREET 5239 SACRAMENTO CA 95816 871596873 501(C)(3) 118617 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION MATERIAL INNOVATION INSTITUTE 952 SCHOOL ST SUITE 175 NAPA CA 94559 843847333 501(C)(3) 55996 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION MERCY FOR ANIMALS 8033 SUNSET BLVD STE 864 LOS ANGELES CA 90046 542076145 501(C)(3) 54996 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION NEW HARVEST 288 NORFOLK ST 4th FLOOR CAMBRIDGE MA 02139 201425438 501(C)(3) 118328 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION NEW ROOTS INSTITUTE 1110 VIRGIL AVE STE 98280 LOS ANGELES CA 90029 824594246 501(C)(3) 117273 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION NEW YORK UNIVERSITY 105 E 17TH ST2ND FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10003 135562308 501(C)(3) 25000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION RETHINK YOUR FOOD INC 12717 W SUNRISE BLVD 131 SUNRISE FL 33323 842273554 501(C)(3) 15000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION THE GOOD FOOD INSTITUTE 1380 MONROE ST NW 229 WASHINGTON DC 20010 810840578 501(C)(3) 303279 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION THE HUMANE LEAGUE PO BOX 10476 ROCKVILLE MD 20849 043817491 501(C)(3) 404808 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION THRIVE PHILANTHROPY INC 40 HEATHER ST ROCHESTER NY 14610 883376572 501(C)(3) 20000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION VOX MEDIA LLC 1701 RHODE ISLAND AVE NW WASHINGTON DC 20036 202057273 LLC 144500 0 FACTORY FARMING RELATED MEDIA WILD ANIMAL INITIATIVE INC 115 ELM ST STE I PMB 2321 FARMINGTON MN 55024 822281466 501(C)(3) 298555 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION 24 2 MOVEMENT GRANT 1 27000 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used VOX MEDIA: ACE decided to continue the project with Vox Media in 2023 based on the periodic reports provided.
