Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Because the well-being of animals reflects the well-being of our community, we engage minds, hearts and hands to provide care for dogs and cats in the East Bay.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Berkeley Humane serves the people and animals of our community by providing life-saving programs for cats and dogs, cultivating compassion, and strengthening the human-animal bond.

  • VETERINARY HOSPITAL - We Perform medical exams, vaccinations, and surgeries for shelter dogs and cats in our care. We also provide spay/neuter services and Low-Cost core vaccines for dogs and cats to the public through our low-cost Spay the Bay program. Berkeley Humanes low-cost spay and neuter program is designed to support individuals and families who are struggling financially but are trying to do the right thing and have their dog and cat altered, therefore reducing the number of unwanted pets in local shelters.PET FOOD PANTRY - Berkeley Humane provides free pet food to low-income pet guardians in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

    Expenses $2,058,902 · Revenue $236,092

  • TRAINING - We provide evaluation and training for shelter dogs in our care. Additionally, Berkeley Humane offers behavior advice to adopters by phone and email. We also offer a wide variety of small classes with certified instructors to the public through our Train the Bay program.THRIFT SHOP - Proceeds generated by Berkeley Humane's Thrift Shop support our Hope Medical Fund, giving medically vulnerable animals the second chance they deserve. Our thrift shop features a carefully curated collection of vintage clothing, home decor, framed artwork, jewelry, and more, thanks to the generous contributions of local residents from Berkeley and the East Bay.

    Expenses $927,008 · Revenue $106,299

  • ADOPTION The primary purpose of Berkeley Humane is to shelter homeless companionanimals until they are placed in suitable homes. In the 1970s, the Board of Directors committed to a revolutionary adoption guarantee model: that no healthy or treatable shelter animals in the Society's care would be euthanized. This commitment set the stage for Berkeley Humane placing 100% of healthy and treatable animals into loving homes for nearly forty years, a commitment that awarded Berkeley Humane and partner organizations the prestigious Maddies Fund Lifesaving Award in 2009. Berkeley Humane serves the animals and people of Berkeley and the East Bay with vital services that last year alone matched over 1,000 animals with loving families and individuals.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

Amounts are as filed and do not add up: a commercial coventurer reports one promotion's whole gross once for each charity that shared in it. A campaign may also name more than one registered charity, in which case it appears on each.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
