Whether it is through everyday giving campaigns, estate gifts, organized campaigns like Big Day of Giving and Giving Tuesday, or attendance and support through our in-person fundraising efforts, the outpouring of support from the community reminds us that the community is behind us in the work we do. We have used these funds to continue our support for needs within the Front Street Shelter. We have continued to fund the hiring of part-time, on-call contract veterinarians to work at Front Street Shelter while the City sought to fill empty veterinary positions. We have received dollar-for-dollar reimbursement from the City for these expenses, at a cost of over $400,000 in 2024. Friends of Front Street seeks no additional fees or costs for providing this service to the shelter and the City. Additionally, we fund the provision of outside care to shelter pets in need of specialty procedures the shelter cannot facilitate, spending almost $70,000 for this extraordinary care. Our Friends of Friends Rescue Grant program provided grants to 35 rescue organizations, who worked with Front Street to transfer 200 pets in need of medical or behavioral rehabilitation. Those grants help facilitate the care of those animals and help our organizations work together to share the cost of saving lives. Our AdoptUs Hospice program also provided over $12,000 in veterinary reimbursements to adopters of pets with hospice conditions, enabling families to open their homes to Front Street pets with terminal illness without the stress of affording the veterinary care necessary to keep that pet comfortable and happy in the final chapter of their lives. We also purchased a forklift at a cost of over $25,000 to facilitate essential daily tasks at the shelter facility. We provide substantial assistance to the community outside the shelter in an effort to assist pets and families in the community and prevent shelter intake. By far our largest community program, the Owned Animal Veterinary Assistance program provides urgent and emergency care to pets of owners experiencing financial hardship. In 2024 our program served over 200 families at a cost of over $258,000. We also continued our partnership with the Community Spay Neuter Clinic to fund the spay and neuter of over 2,000 cats in 2024, spending $198,000 to help end the cycle of community cat overpopulation. It is impossible to describe here every way in which our donors support helps us positively impact the community, but we are sincerely grateful for all that our supporters enable us to do for pets and people in our region. 1268121 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 23 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Emily Blade 9162298817 PO Box 22214 Sacramento CA 95822 Emily Blade Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 79719 0 0 Dennis Greenbaum Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katie Blomberg Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brandon Pell Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patty Manako Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mariela Medina Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Georgann Eberhardt Treasurer Sec. 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jim Houpt President 12.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Laryssa Braaten Vice President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lysa Black Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 79719 0 false false false 0 416140 1520165 1936305 0 2356 2356 0 0 0 0 290123 99473 190650 127815 0 0 0 2129311 130171 278170 278170 0 0 0 79719 67719 8000 4000 0 49779 42279 5000 2500 0 6872 5972 600 300 10366 8866 1000 500 0 0 9389 9389 0 0 0 3230 3230 35361 35361 3994 3394 400 200 6820 5920 600 300 0 0 1832 1832 0 0 0 0 3526 3526 3317 2867 300 150 Veterinary services / expenses 754318 754318 Postage and Shipping 13176 11676 1000 500 Volunteer recognition 12303 12303 Foster program 12130 12130 19783 18558 930 295 1304085 1268121 27219 8745 183739 602559 385874 726020 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28205 3526 24679 0 0 0 0 0 569613 1353258 47882 6301 47882 6301 X 521731 1346957 521731 1346957 569613 1353258 825226 X false false false X 721799 679268 726434 1210410 1936305 5274216 0 0 721799 679268 726434 1210410 1936305 5274216 695067 4579149 168 77 80 2664 2356 5345 0 -2743 28695 11541 51445 190650 279588 5559149 0.82370 0.94480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 28205 3526 24679 24679 X X X X X X false CA Tails at Twlight 163363 163363 32495 3053 Brew Fest 126760 126760 23068 6166 2200 32491 290123 290123 55563 6166 2200 35544 99473 190650 true Coalition for Community Cats PO Box 162597 Sacramento CA 95816 364585527 501(c)(3) 10000 0 Donation Community Spay Neuter Clinic 3839 Bradshaw Rd Sacramento CA 95827 824901173 501(c)(3) 197620 0 Surgeries Friends of Felines PO Box 12 Rio Linda CA 95673 853225196 501(c)(3) 5200 0 Donation Itsie Bitsie Rescue Inc PO Box 1989 Orangevale CA 95662 205201701 501(c)(3) 5600 0 Donation SPCA Inc 6201 Florin Perkins Rd Sacramento CA 95828 941312343 501(c)(3) 9550 0 Donation The Chester Foundation 2515 Venture Oaks Way 135 Saramento CA 95833 272042948 501(c)(3) 35000 0 Donation 6 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A PDF copy of form 990 is emailed to the board of directors prior to its submission to the IRS.
