Overview
Mission
Maui Bird Sanctuary, is dedicated to the care and well-being of macaw and other exotic birds. We rescue macaw and other exotic birds from situations that are abusive, endangering or neglectful. We provide them with a permanent home that allows them to mingle with other birds in outdoor open-flight aviaries. We are committed to raising public awareness regarding the care, safety and moral responsibilities for these endangered species with a lifespan of up to 100 years.
What it reported doing in 2023
We have established a physical sanctuary for the birds we have already rescued.
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
SUPPORTED - 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.
