Overview
Mission
To promote the well-being of wildlife and their habitats through rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife, public education and non-invasive research.
What it reported doing in 2024
Educational activities were back in full strength in 2024. We participated in 83 events and engaged with 2,869 people. Some activities included weekly talks at national, state, and county parks, the local summer camps, and several special events. The largest event was four days at the San Juan County Fair where we interacted with 598 attendees. The majority of the educational activities take place in the summer months, but due to the centers pause, there were no educational events October-December. The Summer Internship program where interns come for two months of hands-on training was back to full strength. Eight rehabilitation interns, one educational intern were in attendance over the busy summer months. Madrona, our last educational ambassador, retired from service in March 2024. She was showing signs of arthritis which caused her pain. It was time to let her relax and enjoy her golden years.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 96% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
