Overview

Mission

Our primary exempt purpose is animal welfare and medical care. We are licensed wildlife rehabilitators focused on caring for sick and injured turtle species native to New Hampshire and returning them to the wild. We provide emergency medical care, palliative care, and long-term convalescence care to wildlife along with public education, outreach, and communication to raise awareness about wildlife and reduce human-wildlife conflicts.

What it reported doing in 2024

This year, we admitted and cared for 153 patients representing all seven turtle species native to New Hampshire, a 19% decrease in patient intakes over the previous year. We also released 97 rehabilitated patients back to their homes in the wild, a 70% increase in patient releases over the previous year. In addition to emergency medical care, we organized two educational programs hosted by a public libraries and a municipal conservation commission. We also responded to over 500 phone inquiries and engaged with many more members of the public through social media outreach.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
