Shrimp Welfare Project has been named one of Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE)’s 2026 Recommended Charities.
ACE, a leading nonprofit organization that uses evidence and reason to help people help more animals, spends several months each year evaluating animal charities to identify those that can do the most good with additional donations.
Through a rigorous evaluation process, ACE has identified and recommended charities that “donors can trust to create a large amount of marginal impact per dollar, effectively helping the animals who are among the most neglected,” said Elisabeth Ormandy, ACE’s Programs Director.
ACE’s charity recommendations help donors decide where their gifts can do the most good for animals. Since 2014, ACE estimates it has helped influence at least $81 million in donations within the animal advocacy movement and has granted nearly $20 million to its Recommended Charities and promising advocacy projects around the world.
ACE’s evaluation process involves several sequential stages and prioritizes animals that are highly neglected and suffer to the greatest extent, such as pigs, chickens, and shrimps.
Shrimp Welfare Project is a global NGO that guides the shrimp farming industry towards higher welfare practices for a more sustainable and ethical future. An estimated 440 billion shrimps are farmed each year — more than 5 times the total number of all land animals combined — making shrimp welfare an area of high impact, where your involvement can lead to great change.
“Shrimp welfare is gaining momentum, and we’re honored to be recognized by ACE as an impactful charity that’s helping billions of animals,” said Robin Goist, Director of Communications at Shrimp Welfare Project. “Thanks to our supporters and industry partners, Shrimp Welfare Project can continue turning that momentum into meaningful action for shrimps. We’re committed to driving meaningful improvements and humane practices across the industry.”
This marks the fourth consecutive year that Shrimp Welfare Project has been recognized as an ACE Recommended Charity, having first received the distinction in 2023 as the fastest-ever charity to do so.
