My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a proud Board Member and volunteer but I started as a visitor to one of the Iowa Farm Sanctuary Strolls, which invite the public to visit and learn about the amazing residents and their stories. A primary goal is to raise awareness of the effects of factory farming and encourage individuals to consider a vegan way of life. Veganism is not an easy step for many. I was not vegan when I began visiting IFS. But, because of the education and learning I was exposed to, and the open and kind way the information was shared, I was invited to learn more. Providing an invitation into the conversation, particularly in the epicenter of animal agriculture is an art and the IFS team has done a tremendous job telling the stories of the residents and the lives they deserve to have outside of factories and farms.

The Iowa Farm Sanctuary is a model for aligning every action with organizational values and effective practices. They recently attained the rigorous Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries accreditation. They also uphold the highest standards of transparency. As a donor, I am confident that my gift translates directly into animal care and direct, mission rich service. Thanks, IFS, for being a voice for animals.
