What it reported doing in 2024

Dear IRS employee, I am late on filing this first tax document because I did not understand several things. I thought that our tax year went from July 15, 2024 to July 15, 2025. I did not discover that the account year would run from July 1, 2024 to Jun 30, 2025 UNTIL I started filling out this online e-file form. I am writing this here as I do not know if the e-file will let me put this info elsewhere. Please be lenient with us. We do not have funds for a fine. Thank you for considering my request. Healthy Cat Project-Program, our cat food is presently in a small trial for preventing feline kidney disease.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
