Recently, I decided to read one of ACE’s charity evaluations in detail, and I was extremely disappointed with what I read. I felt that ACE’s charity evaluation was long and wordy, but said very little.
Upon further investigation, I realized that ACE’s methodology for evaluating charities often rates charities more cost-effective for spending more money to achieve the exact same results. This rewards charities for being inefficient, and punishes them for being efficient.
ACE’s poor evaluation process leads to ineffective charities receiving recommendations, and many animals are suffering as a result. After realizing this, I decided to start a new charity evaluator for animal charities called Vetted Causes. We wrote our first charity evaluation assessing ACE, and you can read it by clicking the attached link.
