AWLA believes in expanding our community to other animal shelters to share information, resources and support. AWLA facilitates the national capital regional animal shelter collaborative. A network of animal shelters in the national capital region, hosting group trainings on essential topics such as wildlife, customer service and veterinary care. AWLA also works closely with several other shelters in Virginia, serving as a committed partner to these shelters that lack resources. We transferred in 679 animals from other shelters. 10 10 67 686 0 0 2553635 1410245 1460079 1615955 440186 16112 0 0 4453900 3042312 0 0 0 0 2396217 2530149 0 0 351730 1007287 911024 3403504 3441173 1050396 -398861 7724587 8037554 338370 321735 7386217 7715819 X The mission of the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is to inspire compassion for all living things, to provide shelter to animals in need, and to promote adoptions, animal welfare, and responsible pet ownership. Our belief that all animals deserve love and care, and that supporting people AND pets enriches our community, is the motivation that fuels our mission. 0 0 1353173 329563 ANIMAL CARE: In FY23, we cared for 2,331 animals (880 cats, 964 dogs, 166 small animals/livestock and 321 wild animals), and providing their daily care was our largest expense. Our team of shelter volunteers assisted AWLA staff to provide top-level care for every animal at the shelter. In FY23, shelter volunteers donated 33,300 hours to the AWLA, roughly equivalent to 16 full-time employees. These volunteers performed a range of tasks, including helping with laundry and dishes; walking dogs; staffing events; cleaning animal enclosures; maintaining the yards and landscaping; cleaning carriers; transporting animals to vet appointments; stocking supplies; socializing cats and feeding animals. During the pandemic, volunteers also donated their time from home, helping our organization administratively as well as with enrichment activities for animals.In order to expand our sheltering capability and provide a unique, home-like environment for animals who might not thrive in the shelter (including newborn and sick or injured animals), we also coordinated a team of more than 266 volunteer foster providers to care for 844 animals (315 dogs, 455 cats and 74 other animals) in their homes in FY23. The AWLA strives to find placement for every animal that can safely and humanely be rehomed, and in FY23, we found placement for 96% of the pets in our care. To achieve this goal, our staff and volunteers went above and beyond to assist animals in our custody, focusing on animals' health, behavior, enrichment and more to provide them with the best care on their way to finding new homes. We also continue to work closely with other regional shelters and rescues in areas that may not have the same resources as ours, transferring animals to our facility to help those organizations with overpopulation and to increase our combined life-saving efforts. In FY23, we brought in 727 animals from several shelters and rescues in Virginia, as well as West Virginia, Maryland, Florida, and Texas. Many of the animals that come to us have health issues ranging from fairly minor to extremely serious, including infections, bone breaks/fractures, heart problems, diabetes and other chronic illnesses. Our shelter veterinarian is responsible for examining all of the animals at the shelter and determining how to best meet each of their medical needs. She works closely with multiple veterinarians in the community who provide the AWLA with their surgical and specialty services at a discount. In FY23, 302 animals with major medical concerns were treated by the AWLA. 626398 329563 COMMUNITY PROGRAMS: As the pandemic affected people and jobs in our region, we expanded our efforts to provide support to pet owners, so no one would need to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender a beloved pet for financial reasons. Through our Community Pet Pantry, we distributed Over 52,000 pounds of supplies, as well more than 32,000 meals provided to the pets of senior/housebound pet owners through our AniMeals program, and more than 34,000 lbs of food was distributed to pet owners in our community through local events and to other regional shelters and rescues. Our Spay and Neuter Assistance program 310 vouchers for this life-changing surgery, helping to control the population of homeless animals and prevent unexpected litters that might lead to animal surrender. Additionally, 1,151 vaccinations were provided to pets across the community. And the AWLA's Crisis Care program continued to provide limited-term boarding for pets whose owners are undergoing emergencies like loss of housing or hospital stays. Through these programs, we help countless animals in our community stay where they belong -- in homes where they are loved. 369094 329563 ADOPTIONS AND SUPPORT SERVICES: In FY23, the AWLA administered 1,600 adoptions, including dogs and cats but also rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards, and even sugar gliders. We expanded our efforts to make sure all adopters are receiving the level of follow-up support they need in case they have any behavioral or medical questions about their new pet, and our Behavior Hotline has offered guidance to dozens of pet owners to help overcome issues that might otherwise lead to the surrender of a pet. In FY23, our total number of in shelter training sessions was 3,437. 454555 329563 ANIMAL SERVICES: Citizens made 2,966 calls for assistance for animal-related issues in the City of Alexandria in FY23, including 477 calls about sick/injured animals, 310 calls about animal bites, 264 calls about possible abuse and/or neglect, 1,303 wildlife-related calls and 437 calls about stray animals, as well as others. As first responders, our Animal Services officers rescue animals, transport injured/sick animals for veterinary care, provide support to pet owners in need across Alexandria and educate the public about living humanely with wildlife and proper treatment of animals. In FY23, the AWLA expanded our relationships with city law enforcement and attorneys to investigate and prosecute cases of animal abuse/neglect in the community and to be part of the citywide domestic violence task force, as animal abuse and neglect often indicate human abuse in households. 454555 329563 2803220 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 67 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 VA X X The Organization 7037465652 4101 Eisenhower Avenue Alexandria VA 22312 Julie Conway Chair 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dean DeGood Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Felipe Duran Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kirk S Fedder Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Young Woodruff Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Lutton Member 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Laura McLean Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Davis Vice Chair and Interim Treasurer 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Suzanne Goulden Member 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Victoria Barnes Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stella Hanly Executive Director 40.00 X 150948 0 6957 Erica Stieve-Caldwell Veterinarian 40.00 X 125584 0 5862 Anthony Rankin Chief Operating Officer & Chief of Animal Services 40.00 X 109477 0 12333 386009 0 25152 3 0 1 0 0 1410245 21844 1410245 Shelter contract 541900 1214438 1214438 Adoptions and educational program 541900 342120 342120 Other programs and shelter events 541900 51003 51003 Merchandise sales 541900 8394 8394 1615955 313815 313815 1912200 2209903 -297703 -297703 -297703 3042312 1318252 0 313815 186312 149050 18631 18631 1885629 1626275 126799 132555 63645 55568 3946 4131 236520 204146 14758 17616 158043 136804 10721 10518 2468 2468 21470 15309 3893 2268 28514 28514 50023 31149 3778 15096 320 320 10069 4738 4628 703 2308 1271 941 96 29231 29048 183 2314 2293 16 5 5367 2542 2354 471 55452 55452 30119 24396 2109 3614 Animal-related expenses 368459 368459 Direct mail 133529 30579 102950 Bank, credit card and p 39532 10158 868 28506 Event and program costs 23574 18205 5369 108275 92910 6347 9018 3441173 2803220 286223 351730 291024 227670 666 700 9896 2826 2603 27612 26886 471102 272159 227350 198943 7157090 7573494 8123 7258 7724587 8037554 277725 259921 53431 54600 7214 7214 338370 321735 X 7213417 7449691 172800 266128 7386217 7715819 7724587 8037554 -398861 728463 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2824692 2328543 11893136 2553635 1410245 21010251 2824692 2328543 11893136 2553635 1410245 21010251 510710 20499541 182182 200080 295328 440193 313815 1431598 22441849 7392389 0.91350 0.92500 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 8123 -865 7258 9652 -1529 8123 9448 204 9652 10434 -986 9448 10902 -468 10434 1.00000 1 0 65408 51416 13992 142157 109813 32344 263537 110930 152607 198943 Due to City of Alexandria 7214 7214 X 3763172 728463 20911 749374 3013798 28514 28514 3042312 3433570 20911 20911 3412659 28514 28514 3441173 Part V, Line 4: Permanently restricted net assets consist of a beneficial interest in a trust controlled by a third party as a permanent endowment fund. Under the terms of the trust agreement, AWLA will never receive the trust's assets but will receive annual disbursements of the net income generated by the fund. Part X, Line 2: The following was disclosed related to uncertain tax positions in the financial statements. AWLA is exempt from federal income tax as a non-profit organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as an organization other than a private foundation. AWLA did not have a liability for unrelated business income for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The material jurisdictions subject to potential examination by taxing authorities include the U.S. and Virginia. The Board does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any future examinations of open tax years will have a material impact on AWLA's results of operations. Tax years that remain subject to examination by the IRS are fiscal years 2020 through 2023.
