Overview

Mission

The artemis project inc. Is a volunteer-run, no-kill 501(c)(3) animal rescue providing programs and education to prevent future suffering. Our mission is inspired by our community's compassion and driven by the belief that every animal deserves a second chance.

What it reported doing in 2024

The project's transport program plays a critical role in advancing our mission by relocating animals from shelters experiencing overcrowding and limited resources to partner organizations in areas with higher adoption demand.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 75% 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
