Overview

Mission

Animal Welfare - BARC provides free or low cost spay/neuter surgeries for low income families.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, BARC subsidized 4,177 spay/neuter surgeries and provided free vaccinations for 446 dogs and cats

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
