Overview

Mission

The organization provides animal services in North Carolina and South Carolina by taking in unwanted, injured or abandoned animals, and providing medical services needed, spaying and neutering, foster homes, adoptions, food and grooming, and any other services necessary for the care of these animals. This treatment happens every day. The ultimate goal is to provide loving new homes for the animals. The organization's mission statement includes a strict "no kill" philosophy, unless a veterinarian and two board members agree that euthanasia is necessary

What it reported doing in 2021

Providing animal shelter and sanctuary-almost home takes in unwanted, injured and abandoned animals. The ultimate goal is to provide suitable new homes for the animals. Because almost home is a "no kill organization, if suitable homes are not found for the animals or they are too old or sick to be adopted, they will live on the premises for the remainder of their lives. These services may include bedding, litter, purchase/upkeep/repairs on animal structures, repair/purchase of supplies and equipment for the shelter, collars, leashes, etc.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
