Overview

Mission

Provide a sanctuary for homeless animals

What it reported doing in 2022

Thrift Shoppe Sales - to raise funds for the sanctuary and the care and welfare of the animals we provide shelter for.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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 and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
