Overview

Mission

Operation of a wildlife rescue that is usda licensed and insured, providing forever homes, care and rehabilitation for exotic animals that are released into our care from government agencies(i.e. Animal control, fish & wildlife), and from private owners and community outlets. Offering virtual eduation to both adults and children, teaching how each animal plays a vital role in the ecosystem and the importance of wildlife conservation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
