Program accomplishments
- In 2025, the Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA) demonstrated measurable impact across its core mission areas of education, professional development, and animal welfare advocacy.**Educational Programming & Community Outreach**SARA's Free Wednesday Support Sessions achieved a 200-300% increase in participant attendance year-over-year. These structured weekly sessions provided evidence-based education on animal welfare, care protocols, and complementary healing modalities. Guest experts delivered 30% of programming, ensuring diverse, qualified instruction for participants nationwide.**Geographic Expansion & Professional Credentialing**The organization's network of certified instructors expanded internationally, with active teaching programs operating in five countries: the United States, United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Japan. SARA's membership grew to include five licensed veterinarians, demonstrating cross-disciplinary professional endorsement and scientific credibility of the organization's methods.**Revenue Generation & Sustainability**SARA executed multiple revenue-generating initiatives in fiscal year 2025, including a collaborative fundraising partnership that generated $10,000 in sales and yielded $5,000 for SARA representing the organization's highest single-event fundraising total. Three merchandise campaigns generated $4,600 in sales with 510 units purchased, creating both sustainable revenue streams and expanded public awareness of the organization's mission.**Industry Recognition & Quality Assurance**SARA achieved landmark third-party validation when the Canadian Reiki Association implemented a policy restricting Animal Reiki practitioner recognition exclusively to individuals certified in the Let Animals Lead methodologya framework developed by SARA co-founder Kathleen Prasad and practiced exclusively by all SARA members. This policy establishes SARA's methodology as the recognized standard within the field.The organization maintained dual accreditation with CPD Standards (Continuing Professional Development), ensuring all educational offerings meet independently verified standards for continuing education and affirming SARA's designation as an approved teaching body of excellence.Expenses $31,001
