Our vision is a world where every animal is cared for and valued.
Since 1994, Animal Charities of America has helped national animal nonprofits expand their reach and engage with individuals like you.
The donations given to ACA have been used to shut down puppy mills, train guide dogs, pass laws restricting animal abuse, fund anti-poaching programs, rehabilitate wounded wildlife, support animal sanctuaries, provides low cost spay-neuter services. rescue and re-home pets after natural disasters, and so much more.
Although all our nonprofit partners must have programs or services in at least 15 states or work internationally, many of our partners are not household names. We are proud to work with nonprofits of any size and aim to provide a place where individuals can learn about the good work of lesser known organizations.
Animal Charities of America is committed to meeting the highest standards of public accountability and fiscal responsibility.
ACA is governed by an all volunteer Board of Directors who generously give their time and talent.
