Overview
Mission
Prevent and eliminate the suffering of farmed animals.
What it reported doing in 2023
Our largest expense is for our billboard project. We currently have nine (9) billboards in San Diego county promoting a vegan lifestyle. There's no way of evaluating the effectiveness of this effort. We work in faith that we're doing the right thing to make people aware of the suffering involved in their food choices. 99,910 Our only other project is taking our illustrated booth to street-fairs and other community events in San Diego county. We hand out free vegan cookies, literature and conversation to those interested in learning about becoming vegan. 48,514
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
