Overview

Mission

The staten island council for animal welfare is a non-profit organization founded in 1972 dedicated to the rescue, care and placement of stray and abandoned animals. The council is also committed to furthering the public's education about proper pet care, the problems of pet overpopulation and the importance of spaying and neutering. In 1996 a low cost certificate program ("neuter network") was established to promote affordable altering for staten island residents.

What it reported doing in 2025

Animal care, rescue, veterinary care boarding, food, and advertising to find suitable homes for abandoned animals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
