Overview
Mission
To support native wildlife, population research, and environmental education through several specific aims: Provide rehabilitation and high quality medical care to individual animals adversely impacted by human development and changing environmental conditions. Support broader population health and research in collaboration with local partners. Educate the community about wildlife, ecosystems, and environmental stewardship.
What it reported doing in 2025
Maine Wildlife Rehabilitation provided comprehensive medical and rehabilitation care for 277 native wild animals in 2025 as well as tabling at various community events and providing several virtual and in person classes and other educational activities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. 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.
