Overview

Mission

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Bastrop County, TX.

What it reported doing in 2024

Supplemental Resources for Animal Shelter: funding resources that provide better care for the animals at the county shelter. This benefits the animals, the shelter staff, and the potential adopters. Examples include: purchase of diagnostic equipment (slides for microscope), ultrasound machine, BCAS sign at fire department, distribution of foster packages.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
