Recent Form 990 filings
Form 990 is an annual information return that most tax-exempt nonprofit organizations file with the Internal Revenue Service. It gives the public a window into the organization’s finances, programs, leadership, and governance.
The filing can help readers understand:
the organization’s mission and major activities;
where its revenue came from;
how funds were spent;
its assets, debts, and overall financial position;
who served as officers and board members; and
compensation reported for certain employees and leaders.
Form 990 is an important transparency tool, but it is not the organization’s full story. Each filing reflects a particular reporting year and may include unusual gifts, one-time expenses, major purchases, leadership changes, or other circumstances that affected that period.
For that reason, individual numbers should be considered in context. A large expense is not automatically a concern, just as a positive year-end balance does not necessarily mean that money was freely available to spend. Some funds may be restricted for a specific purpose, and some expenses may reflect necessary investments in animal care, staffing, facilities, or organizational stability. It is often most helpful to review several years together and look for patterns rather than drawing conclusions from one line, one schedule, or one year.
We are sharing the filings to make this public information easy for members and community members to access. We encourage readers to review them thoughtfully, consider the period each filing covers, and recognize that the forms document the organization’s circumstances and decisions during those years.
