In this episode, we’re joined by Thom Norman, co-founder of Farm Kind (@farmkindgiving), a new nonprofit helping people donate more effectively to end factory farming.

We talk about the massive funding gap in farmed animal advocacy, what makes a charity “super effective,” and how Farm Kind is empowering donors to help the most animals possible. We also explore the real-world impact made by the charities they recommend.

This is an inspiring and practical conversation for anyone who wants their giving to have the biggest possible impact for animals.
