ACE is grateful to have raised $81,794.88 during the 2023 Match Drive. This significant year-end revenue provided critical support for our team's efforts to find the most impactful ways to help the greatest number of animals. The funding will allow us to continue improving our charity evaluations so that we can influence more people to donate effectively to reduce the suffering of farmed and wild animals around the globe. Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2023 Match Drive!

Karimatu: A Mother’s Vaccination Pledge
Karimatu is a 28-year-old mother of four, including twin girls Rabiatu and Maryam. When a neighbor's unvaccinated child nearly died from measles, she was inspired to ensure all her children were fully immunized. Since enrolling in the New Incentives program, Karimatu has found it much easier to bring her twins for immunizations. Thanks to our cash incentives, she is able to get bike rides to the clinic instead of having to walk, and she also uses some of the extra money for her babies’ needs.
What a privilege to have been part of changing this Mother’s life. Your donations that were doubled by the Match Drive made this happen!

In 2023, the world started to get real about climate action. For CATF, it meant driving:
▪️ Strong regulations to clean up our energy system and the air we breathe.
▪️ Policy wins to support a wide range of climate solutions.
▪️ Efficient and equitable distribution of funding for the technologies we’ll need to power the future.
▪️ A more conducive commercial and regulatory environment for clean energy.
▪️ Innovative research to help us better understand the economics, politics, and logistics of a climate-constrained world – so that we can make real progress within it.
With our Double Up Match Drive, your donations were matched and helped double their efforts!

Welcome
Double Up Drive was born of the belief that public giving influences greater generosity and more impactful donations.
We host matching drives to raise money and awareness for effective charities, collecting up-front pledges from large donors to provide 1:1 matches for smaller contributors. The funding team is comprised of high-stakes poker and daily fantasy sports players striving to make their greatest positive impact on the world by “earning to give”.
We subscribe to the research-based philosophy of effective altruism which considers evidence and reason to prioritize causes, attempting to determine where donations can do the most good. We take pride in a charity selection process that emphasizes transparency, financial efficiency, and overall effectiveness, focusing on issues that are large in scale, generally neglected, and highly solvable, where increased funding is best indicated to increase the quality of and/or save the most lives.
With the generous support of our funders and supporters, we have raised over $16 million for highly effective charities to date.
