What it reported doing in 2024
This corporation is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, more specifically to provide humane shelter, care, and treatment for all animals in the Northern Neck. The area of Lancaster County and surrounding counties generally comprise the Northern Neck.2024 was a significant year for the organization. The Board engaged a construction company and the building of the shelter began. Significant work was done to ensure all regulatory requirements were met or exceeded, and that we are an asset to the community. We continued to learn shelter best practices and develop vendor and shelter partner relationships to ensure success with the impending completion and opening. Fundraising continued to support not only the completion of construction in early 2025, but to fund operations once the shelter was completed.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
