Financial information

As a private non-profit organization, we receive no federal, state or government funding and rely totally on private donations, merchandise sales and adoption fees.

Charity Navigator provides a four-star designation to organizations that 1) adhere to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and 2) consistently execute their mission in a fiscally responsible way. Approximately a quarter of the charities Charity Navigator evaluates receive its highest four-star rating, indicating that Animal Humane Society outperforms most other charities in America and is worthy of the public's trust.

Minnesota Charities Review Council’s Standards of Accountability state that at least 70% of an organization’s annual expenses be for program activity with not more than 30% for management, general and fundraising expenses combined. In 2009, Animal Humane Society exceeded this standard by directing 76% of our expenses back into programming and services for animals and the community.
