Overview

Mission

Preservation of nonreleasable animals and animal/bird education

What it reported doing in 2024

We presented over 60 educational programs to inspire minds to explore nature and understand animals and wildlife integrity. We had over 100 encounters to raise awareness of conservation and preservation. Visitors were down this year because we relocated to the city park system.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 67% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
