Overview
Mission
Wildlife rehabilitation in Central Florida

Rehabilitation of injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife as a licensed rehab facility. During the reporting period, 688 patients were admitted for rehabilitation to our wildlife hospital.

The organization's long-term objective is to improve survival outcomes for native wildlife and promote successful return to the wild.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 total assets are large relative to annual expenses, but may not be spendable cash. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filed totals do not add up.
