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. Friends of Front Street Shelter concluded another year of successfully assisting and supporting the well-being of animals in the Sacramento Area, primarily those in the Front Street Shelter.Once again, the Friends of Front Street Shelter was selected by the Sacramento Regional Community foundation as one of a handful of nonprofits to participate in person during the Big Day of Giving. The total amount raised during this event alone in 2025 was $120,000. Our Brewfest event raised $60,000; and our Brunch raised $32,000. As a result of these fundraisers, and donors of Friends, Front Street provided funding for the following:Veterinary Support of Owned PetsEvery year, Front Street Shelter receives hundreds of requests for assistance from pet owners in the community who cannot afford emergency care for their beloved pets. Friends of Front Street organizes veterinary care for qualified applicants and supports owners through the process of getting their pet healthy again. 246 pets received help from this program in 2025 for $304,826.Transfer GrantsWhen pets at the Front Street Shelter need medical or behavioral rehabilitation beyond the scope of the shelter, Friends of Front Street provides micro-grants to rescue and transfer partners to help with the cost of treatment. Friends assisted 155 animals in 2025 as part of this program.AdoptUs Hospice CareAmong the many pets who come through the doors at Front Street Shelter every year, there are always some with medical conditions that can only be managed, not cured. In order to help these pets find adoptive homes to enjoy their remaining time, Friends of Front Street provides reimbursement for the care needed to manage their condition, and assists adopters with the costs associated with their transition out of this life when the time comes.Spay Neuter for Community CatsCommunity Spay Neuter Clinic works tirelessly addressing pet overpopulation in Sacramento! We are thrilled to support them and fund spay/neuter services for TNR volunteers focusing on colony stabilization in the community. Friends provided funds to CSNC in 2025 to spay or neuter over 1,700 cats as part of this program.These significant and critically needed items and services will ultimately improve the lives, health, and adoption rates of animals at the shelter and the Sacramento community. 1173648 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 18 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Georgann Eberhardt 9167120417 PO Box 22214 Sacramento CA 95822 Emily Blade Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 88120 0 0 Dennis Greenbaum President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bob Pagenelli Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brandon Pell Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Monica Robinson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alyssa Malinoski Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Georgann Eberhardt Treasurer Sec. 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Laryssa Braaten Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 88120 0 false false false Jennifer Hatch DVM 1650 8th Avenue Sacramento CA 95818 veterinary services 126513 1 223964 642551 866515 0 2035 2035 0 0 0 0 129152 90152 39000 4553 0 0 0 907550 6588 307855 307855 0 0 0 88120 76120 8000 4000 0 52818 45318 5000 2500 0 10670 9170 1000 500 11312 9812 1000 500 0 0 9064 9064 0 0 0 36025 36025 27981 23931 2700 1350 4714 4114 400 200 0 0 0 1909 1909 0 6995 6995 0 0 5641 5641 4919 4169 500 250 Veterinary services / expenses 606753 606753 Adoption fees 12844 12844 Volunteer recognition 12480 12480 Shelter equipment and supplies 6849 6849 4900 3663 837 400 1211849 1173648 28501 9700 602559 415160 726020 608460 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28205 9167 24679 19038 0 0 0 0 0 1353258 1042658 6301 6301 0 X 1346957 1042658 1346957 1042658 1353258 1042658 -304299 X false false false X 679268 726434 1210410 1936305 866515 5418932 0 0 679268 726434 1210410 1936305 866515 5418932 691300 4727632 77 80 2664 2356 2035 7212 0 28695 11541 51445 190650 39000 321331 5747475 0.82260 0.82370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 28205 9167 19038 19038 X X X X X X false CA Brewfest 65522 65522 1905 3920 3237 51907 Tails at Twlight 58940 58940 8465 11974 7269 124462 124462 10370 3920 15211 59176 88677 35785 true City of Sacramento 915 I Street Sacramento CA 95814 946000410 10150 0 Front Street Animal Shelter Coalition for Community Cats PO Box 162597 Sacramento CA 95816 364585527 501(c)(3) 7500 0 Donation Community Spay Neuter Clinic 3839 Bradshaw Rd Sacramento CA 95827 824901173 501(c)(3) 195405 0 Surgeries Itsie Bitsie Rescue Inc PO Box 1989 Orangevale CA 95662 205201701 501(c)(3) 7400 0 Donation Kitten Crossing Rescue 3745 Bell Road Auburn CA 95603 862020730 501(c)(3) 5400 0 Donation The Chester Foundation 2515 Venture Oaks Way 135 Saramento CA 95833 272042948 501(c)(3) 35000 0 Donation Wylie Animal Rescue 10290 Iroquios Stagecoach NV 89429 237147797 501(c)(3) 5050 0 Donation 7 0 Additional Supplemental Information Every day the shelter sends out an email listing the pets needing transfer by approved non-profits with an explanation of the medical or behavioral reasons that necessitate immediate action. A specific dollar amount for a grant is noted. That amount has been pre-determined by the shelter and Friends and outlined in a needs matrix. On occasion the grant can be increased if the shelter determines the animals need is greater than originally anticipated.The point of the grant is to incentivize the rescues to get the animal out of the shelter so it can receive the care or rehabilitation it needs quickly. Given that the transfer partners have been vetted and are non-profits, no further monitoring is required.
