Overview

Mission

Advancing and promoting avian medicine stewardship, and conservation through education of its members, the veterinary community, and those they serve

What it reported doing in 2024

Conferences & seminars - educating members and other interested parties to all aspects of avian medicine and surgery, including publication of latest procedures

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
