Overview
Mission
Aloha Animal Sanctuary's purpose is to prevent cruelty toward animals, provide sanctuary to neglected, abandoned and / or abused animals, and to promote compassion toward these animals through public engagement and education.
What it reported doing in 2024
In 2024, Aloha Animal Sanctuary, still an entirely volunteer-run organization, continued to provide sanctuary for neglected, abused, and/or abandoned animals and promote compassion towards these animals through public engagement and education and achieved notable accomplishments. The sanctuary successfully rescued several abandoned animals and continued caring for 43 animal residents, including various species, while ensuring their well-being and happiness. In 2024, the sanctuary closed the year with 123 active volunteers and continued the work-trade program. The impact on the lives of rescued animals, volunteers, and the broader community reflects the sanctuarys commitment to creating a more compassionate and sustainable world for all.Educational events and visitor days continued in 2024 for most of the year. The bird flu arrived on the island late in the year and we stopped visitor and public volunteer days in November 2024 to keep our residents as safe as possible. Educational and visitor days focus on fostering a deeper understanding of farmed animals and humane treatment to the broader community and those who visited the sanctuary. Events included Visitor Days connected with special events such as Yoga. We continued hosting Volunteer Days throughout most of the year, where the community was invited to help around the sanctuary with various projects. While we continued to accomplish many goals aligned with the Sanctuary mission, the sanctuary did go through a significant managing director change. Due to this much of 2024 was focused on onboarding, training, and ensuring all departments had the support they needed to care for the residents.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
