White Coat Waste is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., focused on government accountability and animal welfare. It operates as a taxpayer watchdog and bipartisan coalition, aiming to influence public policy by uncovering and publicizing information about government-funded animal testing and related activities, including high-profile investigations and campaigns against animal experiments in federal and research settings. The group advocates for transparency and accountability in U.S. taxpayer-funded research and has pursued legal action and public campaigns to retire and release animals used in experiments, highlighting its work across agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, USDA, FDA, NIH, and EPA. The organization positions itself as a watchdog within the nonprofit sector, working to reduce government experimentation on animals and promote retirements of lab survivors, while maintaining a footprint with a national presence and engagement in media coverage and public discourse.
