Overview

Mission

Brighthaven is a non-profit organization dedicated to the well being of senior, disabled and special animals.

Provided education and support to pet parents and animal care professionals in animal hospice and palliative care through courses, publications and podcast; maintained small cat rescue operations in northern California.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
