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.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $3,298 spent. Provided multiple new cages and travel carriers for Phoenix Landing Jacksonville FL branch: they have become the de facto landing place for lost parrots whose owners cannot be found in the Jacksonville Florida area and beyond. Unlike birds surrendered by former owners, these birds have nothing, so new cages and travel carriers are needed.
  2. $3,109 spent. Donated multiple travel/emergency/evacuation carriers for multiple parrot adoption facilities: recognizing the need for such cares due to widespread fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and such, we help these facilities send birds to new adpotive homes with carriers that can also serve as emergency cages for some preriod of time.
  3. $2,771 spent. Purchased two new ICU (intensive care unit) incubators and oxygen concentrators.for sanctuaries use in critical emergencies, these can be literal lifesavers when a bird is ill or injured.
  4. $52,089 spent. Ongoing support for parrots in shelters, sanctuaries, and rescues in the United States: 34 organizations assisted.
