Overview
Mission
To advance the care of wild and domestic animals through research, education and service related to wildlife and pet care, nutrition, habitat, and ecosystems
What it reported doing in 2019
36 sessions were provided to educate children and adults on animal care and habitat, largely through schools, public and private events, day programs. Small animals were brought to the educational sessions *cockatoos, lemurs, prairie dogs, chameleons, snakes, etc.).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
