Overview

Mission

We believe all pets and people deserve access to affordable veterinary care. We believe that barriers to accessing veterinary care can be removed through collaboration and innovation. We spread social innovations through a national training network that shows and supports organizations how to implement and integrate proven business models and strategies in their communities. We will continue to develop social innovations that help people and animals.

What it reported doing in 2025

Expand access to veterinary care by providing veterinary practice mentorships, connecting pet parents with financially friendly pet services through our www.pethelpfinder.org, building partnerships with human services through our social work hub programs, conducting and publishing research, and leading the field in dissemination and promotions of tools, techniques, and community building that drives forward sustainable veterinary care expansion.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
