Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The mission of the Atlanta Humane Society is to improve animal welfare in the southeastern United States by providing quality animal services including preventative initiatives, education, advocacy and adoption of animals into permanent loving homes.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Improving animal welfare by providing innovative, community focused services in the Southeast.

  • ANIMAL SERVICES - Creating meaningful change for animals in Atlanta requires a whole-community approach. In our last fiscal year, our services directly impacted 60,817 animals through a connected network of veterinary care, sheltering, and outreach. We provided medical treatment to 4,536 animals, performed 6,235 spay/neuter surgeries, and distributed over 1.1 million pet meals to families and shelters in need. We also supported families in urgent need by providing emergencyboarding, veterinary care, and reunification services. These aren't just services... they're life-changing interventions that keep animals safe, healthy, and with the people who love them.

    Expenses $12,183,242 · Grants $1,431,508 · Revenue $854,179

  • COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SERVICES - Over the past year, we connected 31,459 community members with vital animal welfare support through our Resource Center. From spay/neuter guidance to keeping pets with their families during crisis, every touchpoint reflected our belief that every animal deserves care. We amplified this work with targeted communications, public outreach, and our Day of Giving to unite our city in defense of the defenseless through action, awareness, and heart.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
