Overview

Mission

A Chance to Bloom is a non-profit, all-volunteer group of animal lovers. ACTB has observed a great need in our community to assist, rescue, foster, provide medical care and love for the unwanted, homeless, neglected and abused animals we so often see. Addressing issues that result in broken bonds between people and their pets as well as community services which may help keep a companion animal with the family they love. ACTB has networked with other Rescue Groups and Humane Organizations to transport and place companion animals all over the United States and Canada. We provide screening of all adoptive applicants to assure that the suitable companion is placed with the appropriate family. A Chance to Bloom provides these needed services through our fund-raising events set in place by our dedicated volunteers and through donations from individuals that believe in our mission. Without "u" there is no "us", please continue to share, educate, donate, foster and volunteer!

What it reported doing in 2018

We spend a majority of our funds and time on medical cases, most of our dogs come from neglect and abuse cases. They have suffered some sort of trauma requiring high medical treatment and attention.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
