Ideas mean nothing without the right team to bring them to life. We work to find the best people to work on each of our projects, and we promote a culture of diversity, inclusion, support, growth and effectiveness.


Humane America Animal Foundation was founded by David Meyer, Amy Luwis and Doug McKee in 2000, initially to fund a project to end the killing of companion animals in Los Angeles animal shelters. Its scope quickly expanded to more broadly launching innovative programs that improve the lives of animals and people across the entire country and beyond.
