Animal welfare is closely linked to ethical, environmental, and public health concerns. Charity Navigator's Animal Welfare Fund supports organizations that are committed to protecting and improving the lives of animals, especially farmed and wild animals. They strive to create a compassionate world where animals are free from unnecessary suffering, while also promoting a healthier and more sustainable environment.

Developed in partnership with 1% for the Planet®, the Environmental Action Fund addresses the urgent and interconnected challenges facing our planet. This fund supports organizations committed to conserving biodiversity, restoring ecosystems, fostering resilient communities, and promoting equitable resource management.

Global poverty remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time, with millions of people living in conditions that inhibit access to basic needs such as food, clean water, shelter, education, and healthcare. The goal is to support efforts to target poverty reduction with efficient, scalable interventions, with special attention to the methodologies of Charity Navigator’s Causeway Fund.
