Overview

Mission

To prevent cruelty to animals, the Texas coalition for animal protection (tcap) provides compassionate solutions to pet overpopulation and community animal welfare. Tcap accomplishes this goal by making affordable, high quality sterilization and preventative services available to Texas pet owners.

What it reported doing in 2024

Through the Texas coalition for animal protection's (tcap) low cost pet sterilization and vaccination program, veterinarians sterilized 78,253 animals and vaccinated 186,019 animals against the rabies virus. Tcap hosted a number of community education events and participated in various community festivals to promote an end to animal suffering and to promote animal welfare. $1,800,000 of the above stated program service expenses consists of amounts spent by tcap to provide no cost services in furtherance of its tax-exempt purposes and to provide promotions that end euthanasia in north Texas animal shelters. Discounted/free preventative services also enable more families to retain their pets, thereby decreasing the numbers of animals entering animal shelters. In addition, in furtherance of the prevention of animal cruelty, tcap staff and volunteers educated pet owners through our vaccination and sterilization events about disease protection and good animal health as well, including the need for pet sterilization.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
