Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $38,894 spent. WE ARE A DEDICATED GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS WORKING TO PLACE FORMER RACING GREYHOUNDS INTO ADOPTIVE HOMES. OUR GREYHOUNDS ARE UNIQUE IN THAT THEY ARE FOSTERED AND TRAINED BY STATE INMATES. THIS TEACHES INMATES PATIENCE AND RESPONSIBILITY, RELIEVES IDLENESS IN THE PRISON FACILITIES, AND ALLOWS THE INMATES TO EXPERIENCE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. IN TURN, THE GREYHOUNDS ARE PROVIDED A FOSTER HOME, ONE ON ONE ATTENTION BY THE FOSTER INMATE, AND THE TRAINING NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE CANINE GOOD CITIZENSHIP TESTING. IT'S A WIN-WIN FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.
