Overview
Mission
To make the world a more compassionate place one day at a time. We are doing this by providing outreach and education to children and families surrounding veganism and animal/human rights, making plant based options accessible in under-resourced communities, and by providing awareness and support for animal sanctuaries in the Midwest.
What it reported doing in 2024
Plant based food and supply drives - various food and supply drives held throughout the city as well as online to support under resourced communities in Chicago. Food and goods received donated to various nonprofit organizations in various under resourced communities such as Englewood, Pilsen, and West Humboldt Park. Projects included in this program service area also include mainly Christmas toy drive benefiting under resourced West Humboldt Park students.
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 98% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
