ACCOUNTABILITY

​

Animal Rescue Financial Support, Inc. (ARFS) is managed by a board of four business-minded directors who are passionate about the humane treatment of animals and supportive of those who care for their needs.  ARFS's board is governed by bylaws and conducts board meetings as needed.  All matters of importance and all financial aid are voted on and must be approved by the board.  Board directors receive no compensation for their service.

ARFS keeps meticulous financial records, including monthly income and expense reports and profit and loss reports.  All of ARFS's  financial records are open to the public.  In addition, ARFS maintains extensive data on all of its assignments, animals, and financial aid recipients.  

ARFS does not need a physical building, so it has very few operating expenses. The board is determined to spend less than 10% of its income on administration, advertising, and fundraising. This permits its revenue to be used for the purposes that it is intended, that is, aid for animals and those who rescue or care for them. 

 

Since 95% of ARFS's income is allocated for financial aid, and 95% of ARFS's expenses are paid for financial aid, and since Charity Navigator considers 90% as good, ARFS rates better than good.
