Overview
Mission
Tuscaloosa spay neuter incentive program (tsnip), a 501(c)(3) non-for- profit organization, was founded in the spring of 2013 with the mission of reducing the unwanted domestic animal population in tuscaloosa county, the city of tuscaloosa, and the city of northport. Tsnip works to accomplish their mission through two main programs: feral cat control and education. Feral cats are trapped, neutered or spayed, and released. The education efforts are for elementary through post-secondary students as well as the general public. Tsnip works to spay and neuter communities of feral cats which dramatically reduces the breeding and nuisance behaviors of feral cats. This also reduces the intake and euthanasia of feral cats and costs at the tuscaloosa metro animal shelter.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 78% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
