Overview

Mission

We are an animalwelfare organization. Our goal is to assist in saving the lives of cats and kittens that are in shelters. Far too many animal shelters in the United States are overcrowded, and resort to putting healthy animals down because they do not have the facilities to care for them while they are looking for "forever" homes for them.URRKN has a nationwide network of more than 6,000 volunteer drivers in 50 states that will help to provide transport for these animals from their shelter to their new forever homes.

What it reported doing in 2014

Animal Rescue Assistance

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
