Animal Charity Evaluators review
Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) named Faunalytics as one of its Standout Charities in since its 2015 annual charity recommendations.
ACE designates as Standout Charities those organizations which they do not feel are as strong as their Top Charities, but which excel in at least one way and are exceptionally strong compared to animal charities in general.
ACE reviews organizations designated as a Standout Charity every other year.
In its December 2019 review of Faunalytics, ACE cites Faunalytics' strengths as its focus on an important field (creating and promoting research) and its publication of important research on topics related to effective animal advocacy. Their review states that Faunalytics' research projects are highly transparent, publicly available, and seem to be the result of an impact-focused project prioritization process. According to ACE, their weakness is that the effects of their programs on animals are indirect and difficult to measure.
ACE named Faunalytics as one of three of its Top Charities in 2021.
In 2023, ACE decided to move to only one tier: Recommended Charities.
