My Nonprofit Reviews

I'm biased of course, because I am the Founder & Director. I give a 5-star rating to AKI because we fill a huge gap: the gap in funding for Africa-based animal welfare organizations (and animal welfare organizations in other poor regions). We not only raise visibility and send funds to our Partners and Grantees, we also strengthen the organizations so they become more self-sustaining, they become more capable of applying for and managing grants, they become better at communicating with supporters and potential supporters, and they become stronger voices for the animals in their countries. AKI has a board with many years of experience working with animal welfare organizations all over the world. We make sure you can easily find out what your funds are used for....no digging around our website in search of how we use your funds! And all donations go 100% to our supported organizations.

I'm proud to be part of AKI because I'm proud of the 11 partner animal welfare organizations that we support. I feel that AKI's work is so important because we bring our partners' work to so many more people than each partner would be able to do on their own. We make sure our partner organizations report to us in a transparent and accountable fashion so that we can report to our donors. And the bottom line: because of donations that AKI receives and sends to our partners, they are able to help so many more cats, dogs, and donkeys, and accomplish so much--much more than what they could do without us. Plus, we help our partner organizations, develop, grow, mature--that's so important for making advances in animal welfare in poor/under-resourced countries.
