Overview

Mission

AniMeals is now part of Horizons. Animeals has a few dollars left that will donate to finish closing the entity. Horizons is a Meals on Wheels for Humans and Pets.

What it reported doing in 2025

AniMeals donated $52,000.00 to Horizons to have them pick up and continue the program. AniMeals is getting the last of the items paid and then will disband this entity.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
