Overview

Mission

Our mission is to encourage, honor and support the human-animal bond in the suncoast region of Florida. Our vision is to celebrate a community whose pets are safe and loved. Suncoast humane society provides sheltering, prevention and community outreach services serving the suncoast region and beyond.

What it reported doing in 2024

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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
