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 marginal cost-effectiveness and room for funding. Those which perform the best on these criteria are named Top or Standout charities and we collect donations on their behalf. We re-evaluate recommended charities every 2 years to ensure that they used our donors' funds well. 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 are 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 require grant recipients to submit a detailed expense report and a summary of their research results, and require them to comply with an open science policy. We 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 5318 46TH AV SW SEATLE WA 98136 871509228 501(C)(3) 45000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION BLACK VEG SOC OF MARYLAND 840 N EUTAW ST STE 2 BALTIMORE MD 21201 811874876 501(C)(3) 30000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION CLIMATE REFARM PBC 251 LITTLE FALLS DRIVE WILLMINGTON DE 19808 882720997 CORP 48000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION COMPASSION IN WORLD FARMING 211 EAST 43rd St 7th Floor NEW YORK NY 10017 461822635 501(C)(3) 89439 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION DC VOTERS FOR ANIMALS 1901 16TH ST NW UNIT 301 WASHINGTON DC 20009 874366316 CORP 10000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION DHARMA VOICES FOR ANIMALS 176 SOLANA POINT CIRCLE SOLANA BEACH CA 92075 455372693 501(C)(3) 98439 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION FAUNALYTICS PO BOX 6476 OLYMPIA WA 98507 010686889 501(C)(3) 228587 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION FISH WELFARE INITIATIVE 3123 BUTTERFLY DRIVE NORMAL IL 61761 852065536 501(C)(3) 60588 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION KARUNA FOUNDATION 7522 MONARCH ROAD NIWOT CO 80503 854026412 501(C)(3) 40000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION MATERIAL INNOVATION INSTITUTE 952 SCHOOL ST SUITE 175 NAPA CA 94559 843847333 501(C)(3) 91313 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION MERCY FOR ANIMALS 8033 SUNSET BLVD STE 864 LOS ANGELES CA 90046 542076145 501(C)(3) 93439 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION NEW HARVEST 288 NORFOLK ST 4th FLOOR CAMBRIDGE MA 02139 201425438 501(C)(3) 188557 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION RETHINK PRIORITIES 530 DIVISADERO ST PMB 796 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94115 843896318 501(C)(3) 45000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION RETHINK YOUR FOOD INC 12717 W SUNRISE BLVD 131 SUNRISE FL 33323 842273554 501(C)(3) 20000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION THE GOOD FOOD INSTITUTE 1380 MONROE ST NW 229 WASHINGTON DC 20010 810840578 501(C)(3) 113982 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION THE HUMANE LEAGUE PO BOX 10476 ROCKVILLE MD 20849 043817491 501(C)(3) 349492 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION THE POLLINATION PROJECT FDN 1563 SOLANO AVENUE 643 BERKELEY CA 94707 460675457 501(C)(3) 35000 0 MOVEMENT GRANT; SUPPORT MISSION VOX MEDIA LLC 1201 CONNECTICUT AVE NW WASHINGTON DC 20036 202057273 120515 0 FACTORY FARMING, ANIMAL WELFARE WILD ANIMAL INITIATIVE INC 15 ELM ST STE I PMB 2321 FARMINGTON MN 55024 822281466 501(C)(3) 225817 0 RECOMMENDED CHARITY;SUPPORT MISSION 16 3 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.
