Animal Rescue, Inc. Is a predominantly volunteer organization. We have a team of 118 volunteers and 38 employees who help to administer our programs. All of our organization’s officers and directors, including grace froelich, animal rescue, inc. ’s volunteer president & executive director, who has been responsible for administering our organization’s programs on a full-time basis for the past 34 years, serve as volunteers. The majority of our volunteers have been with our organization for many years, some for decades. Having the benefit of so many dedicated volunteers, as well as a network of participating veterinarians who provide medical services at reduced fees, ensures a very cost-effective use of our funding dollars -- our total management and fund-raising expenses for our most recently filed form 990 tax return (fiscal year 8/1/08 to 7/31/09) were only 10. 8%. That, of course, means that out of every dollar donated, more than 89 cents goes where it should -- to helping the animals.
