Overview
Mission
From Forgotten to Forever Rescue FFTF provides rescue, transport, foster homes and adoption for animals from high-kill shelters primarily in New Mexico and Texas. Our wonderful team of volunteers pulls animals from death row on a daily basis. We vet, foster and transport animals every week. In an attempt to provide the community with the support they need, FFTF is also focused on leading, promoting and educating the public by providing resources for vaccinations and spay and neuter clinics. Our team is built upon dedicated caring foster families, volunteers and benefactors who share the same purpose of wanting to give unwanted animals a second chance. Our main goal is to reduce the euthanasia rate of the high kill shelters by collaborating with the city shelters and local communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
From Forgotten to Forever Transport rescues and transports animals from high-kill shelters in New Mexico and Texas to Colorado. Prior to 2018, the organization had solely been a transport organization, and in August of 2018 they added rescue to their mission. In the FY24 fiscal year, 48 cats and 118 dogs were saved from high-kill shelters and adopted in to their forever homes. 15 cats and 15 dogs were in foster homes at the end of the fiscal year. Each animal placed in to rescue with From Forgotten to Forever is vetted and spayed or neutered before being adopted.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
