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. 8 8 73 698 0 0 1410245 2440556 1615955 1593557 16112 466266 0 4196 3042312 4504575 0 0 0 0 2530149 2782354 0 0 487704 911024 1005401 3441173 3787755 -398861 716820 8037554 9434117 321735 341004 7715819 9093113 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 1365559 399439 ANIMAL CARE: In FY24, we cared for 2699 animals (1385 cats, 1059 dogs, 255 small 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 FY24, shelter volunteers donated 23,144 hours to the AWLA, roughly equivalent to 12 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, feeding animals and helping at events. Volunteers also donated their time from home, helping our organization administratively as well as with enrichment activities for animals.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 123 volunteer foster providers to care for 540 animals in their homes in FY24. The AWLA strives to find placement for every animal that can safely and humanely be rehomed, and in FY24, 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 FY24, we brought in 528 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 the animals at the shelter and determining how to best meet each of their medical needs. In FY24, 356 animals with major medical concerns were treated by the AWLA. 638231 399438 COMMUNITY PROGRAMS: In FY24 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 56,000 pounds of supplies, as well more than 42,000 meals were provided to the pets of senior/housebound pet owners through our AniMeals program, and more than 34,000 pounds 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 454 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, 2,463 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. 461452 399438 ADOPTIONS AND SUPPORT SERVICES: In FY24, the AWLA administered 1501 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 FY24, our total number of in shelter training sessions was 6,828. Additionally, we established the Alexandria Animal Academy, a virtual training program assisting dog guardians with common training issues. The inaugural cohort consisted of ~ 50 participants. 500788 399438 ANIMAL SERVICES: Residents made 2914 calls for assistance for animal-related issues in the City of Alexandria in FY24, including 275 calls about animal bites, 160 calls about possible abuse and/or neglect, 1191 wildlife-related calls and 454 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. 500788 399438 2966030 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 73 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 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 22304 Julie Conway Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Mann Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Fiske Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Louise Salas Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura MacLean Trreasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Davis Vice Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Suzanne Goulden Chair 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Victoria Barnes Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stella Hanly Executive Director 40.00 X 171625 0 7726 Anthony Rankin Chief Operating Officer & 40.00 X 115673 0 4749 Megan Hess Director of Engagement 40.00 X 110656 0 3600 Elsa Sanchez Director of Finance 40.00 X 117042 0 3754 514996 0 19829 4 0 1 0 0 2440556 70472 2440556 Shelter contract 541900 1283025 1283025 Adoptions and educatio 541900 310532 310532 1593557 393907 393907 646729 574370 72359 72359 72359 8026 3830 4196 4196 4504575 1597753 0 466266 193239 154591 19324 19324 2070331 1706804 160479 203048 69524 57343 5365 6816 264644 217665 20984 25995 184616 151830 14651 18135 550 550 24260 16605 5195 2460 34023 34023 18899 13417 3377 2105 1273 821 452 12965 6551 5970 444 19574 13531 2276 3767 23324 21046 901 1377 4508 1342 65 3101 8116 3023 2440 2653 50703 50703 32943 28665 2588 1690 Animal-related expenses 389753 389753 Direct mail 117248 40685 76563 In-kind goods and mater 70472 39578 30894 Event and program costs 47599 29815 17784 149191 72415 5680 71096 3787755 2966030 334021 487704 227670 39932 700 517 12723 2603 2459 26886 16608 471102 322862 198943 148240 7573494 9206736 7258 6902 8037554 9434117 259921 285749 54600 55255 7214 0 321735 341004 X 7449691 8815653 266128 277460 7715819 9093113 8037554 9434117 716820 660474 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2328543 11893136 2553635 1410245 2440556 20626115 2328543 11893136 2553635 1410245 2440556 20626115 517606 20108509 200080 295328 440193 313815 393907 1643323 22269438 7543171 0.90300 0.91350 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 7258 -356 6902 8123 -865 7258 9652 -1529 8123 9448 204 9652 10434 -986 9448 1.00000 1 0 65409 57013 8396 142156 119927 22229 263537 145922 117615 148240 X 5185656 660474 54630 715104 4470552 34023 34023 4504575 3808362 54630 54630 3753732 34023 34023 3787755 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, 2024 and 2023. 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 2021 through 2024.
