Overview
Mission
The organizations mission is to prioritize relationships while providing a forever home for animals in need and inclusive therapeutic services for people.
What it reported doing in 2025
The organization is a licensed behavioral health agency and animal sanctuary providing a safety net for animals with medical and age-related special needs. The sanctuary is currently home to approximately 75 animals. After recovery, animals support the community through the organizations animal-assisted and nature-based services. These services include animal-assisted therapy, mental health counseling, school-based mental health, and community outreach programs. The organization specializes in working with at-risk youth and families. One Heart Wild served approximately 250 individual clients and 500 students, either at school or at the sanctuary, in 2024. The organizations clinical team provided over 2,800 hours of individual client care at the sanctuary, not including workshops, school-based services, or field trips. The organization is supported by a robust volunteer program, with nearly 3,000 hours given annually toward animal care, event support, and board oversight.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 76% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and expenses are high relative to revenue.
