Overview

Mission

The mission of Ark Charities, Inc is to enhance the quality of life for animals and humanity through compassionate, scientific, and educational action.

What it reported doing in 2013

Ark Charities hosted 32 one-day zinc neutering training sessions in at-risk communities with 25 nonprofit partners during twelve (12) months. 176 nonprofit veterinarians, licensed technicians and veterinary students were trained (and received RACE credits) in zinc neutering technology and 1,334 shelter and owned dogs were zeutered.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
