Because of increased costs due to covid-19 (fewer food donations, more relinquished pets), AKI's support covered significantly less than in previous years (usually 50% of operating costs). AKI funds covered: rent of The Haven shelter; a portion of The Haven Shelter Manager's annual salary and bonus; the USPCA Assistant Manager's salary; other USPCA staff salaries; the USPCA Kennel Sponsorship Program; transport for rescues of cats and dogs and for pre- and post-adoption home visits; electricity at The Haven; medicines for (rabies, parvo, and DHPPIL vaccines, de-wormers, flea/tick control, etc.); food for Haven puppies and kittens and for adult animals; firewood to cook dog food; cat litter; and air time for the USPCA phone. 120000 120000 0 After five years of raising funds for AKI Partner Organization, Uganda Society for the Protection and Care of Animals' Land Fund, we raised enough so that the Uganda SPCA could purchase a 2.08 acre plot to move their shelter, currently on a small rented plot in the middle of Kampala. The new location is surrounded by open space that is unlikely to be developed. The USPCA was under an eviction order due to complaints of nearby residents about barking dogs and odors. During 2022, the USPCA will transfer their shelter to the new location. 16032 16032 0 AKI's 2021 Africa-Based Animal Welfare Organization Grant Program awarded grants to nine animal welfare organizations in Africa: three in Zimbabwe, and one grant each in Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, and South Africa. The grants range in sized from $885 to $2000 and fund projects such as, mobile rural vet clinics and spay/neuter clinics; donkey welfare-harness making and vet care; infrastructure for a cat sanctuary; horse welfare; infrastructure to shelter confiscated livestock; supplies for a shelter manager to run a community animal welfare program. 5000 5000 0 Partner Organization Have a Heart-Namibia used AKI disbursements for their Lifetime Care Program-booster vaccinations and parasite treatment for dogs and cats that return to the HAH mobile clinic after they are spayed or neutered (517 dogs and 43 cats in 2021); and for the AKI-HaH Emergency Fund (in 2021, 14 dogs and 12 cats) received emergency care. 6000 6000 0 Disbursements to AKI Partner Organization Liberia Animal Welfare & Conservation Society were used for: community animal care clinics in 62 villages in Voinjama, Foya, Zorzor, and Quardu Gbondi Districts in Lofa County. At these clinics, LAWCS attended to over 1100 dogs and 84 cats. AKI support covers the medications, transport, animal welfare education for animal owners (reaching over 1500 people), and other costs associated with the clinics. AKI funding also supported LAWCS Humane Ed Program in 11 schools in Kolahun District (Lofa County). We also help LAWCS cover their basic operating costs-essential for the organization, the only animal welfare organization working in Lofa County, to continue to grow. AKI funds covered 12 months of rent of the LAWCS office/clinic; salaries of three LAWCS staff for one year; fuel and maintenance costs from January through December for two LAWCS motorbikes; and one year of food for a rescued cat and dog who live at the LAWCS office. 6500 6500 0 Disbursements to AKI Partner Organization Kingston Community Animal Welfare cover about 90% of the costs of KCAW's program to care for Kingston's street cats and dogs, and pets who belong to poor families. KCAW used AKI funds to purchase cat and dog food; to spay 52 cats and dogs and neuter 6 cats; to purchase vet supplies and medicines for mange, de-worming, maggot spray, wound powder; and to pay for vet care (mainly from injuries from car accidents, maggot wounds, and parvo). 4500 4500 0 Disbursements to AKI Partner Organization Helping Hands for Hounds of Honduras: AKI covers about 90% of HHHH's costs of operating their sanctuary, which mainly shelters older dogs and cats and/or seriously injured (emotionally and/or physically) animals-serving as a hospice/rehab center. HHHH used AKI funds for cat and dog food covering about 10 months for the +/-25 dogs and 3-5 cats at the sanctuary; for helpers to clean the sanctuary's yards and maintenance of sanctuary infrastructure; for medicines and vet supplies, such as de-wormers, flea/tick preventatives, and antibiotics; and for vet care, including blood tests, vaccinations, spays/neuters. 2310 2310 0 Disbursements to AKI Partner Organization Save the Animals-Armenia: SA-Armenia used AKI funds to purchase food for the approximately 35 dogs at the SA-A shelter (mostly older dogs, who were rescued years ago, and because of their large size and many with emotional and physical injuries, never were adopted); to purchase medicines for the shelter dogs; to feed street cats and dogs; and for transport of shelter dogs to the vet. 8000 8000 0 AKI disbursements to Partner Organization Bam Animal Clinics-Uganda were used for their donkey welfare program in eastern Uganda, the area of the country with the highest concentration of donkeys. This year, as part of our efforts to strengthen the organization as a whole, Bam also used AKI funds for their general operations (some salaries, electricity, internet, and security at their office/vet clinic in Iganga). For their donkey program, AKI funding covered six community vet clinics and humane sisal saddle-making courses in Bukwo, Kween, and Kapchorwa Districts. AKI funding covered all costs associated with the community donkey clinics, including transport to the sites; accommodation; procedures requiring veterinary surgeons who are needed to treat the more serious problems (removal of a tumor from the forehead of a donkey, a donkey's stomach injury from being kicked by a cow, a prolapse; medications (to treat internal parasites, skin infections, and wounds,multivitamins, sprays against ticks and flies); and for World Rabies Day, rabies vaccines for dogs (who often accompany donkey owners and their donkeys to the clinics). AKI funding also covered all material needed for the sisal saddle making trainings. Over the course of the trainings, 300 people were given sisal sacks to make their own saddles, which they kept. Bam also uses AKI funds to provide stipends for their two animal husbandry/vet officers in Kween and Bukwo. The vet officers know every village and they speak the languages in the area, so they're responsible for organizing the clinics and trainings. They also follow up on donkeys who were treated and need extra attention and they work with donkey owners to ensure they're using the sisal saddles correctly. 3022 3022 0 AKI Partner Organization, Mbwa wa Africa-Tanzania, used AKI disbursements for salaries of shelter staff and for dog and cat food for the Mbwa wa Africa shelter animals. 10100 10100 0 Special Projects-As part of our administrative and technical support for partners and grantees (including previous year grantees)-our Friendly Audit Program--we sometimes help them raise additional funds (in addition to our grants or, for Partner Organizations, disbursements). In 2021 we helped Save Animals in the Democratic Republic of Congo raise funds ($4125) for their Kinshasa Zoo Program for which SA volunteers visit the zoo monthly to bring food and enrichment items and clean the zoo grounds. Save Animals was a 2018, 2019, and 2020 Africa-Based Animal Welfare Organization Grantee. We also raised money for Sauvons nos Animaux in the Democratic Republic of Congo ($5375) to repair one of their kennels after it was destroyed by a mudslide and to purchase cat and dog food because so many of their donors dropped out during COVID and Sauvons nos Animaux was unable to purchase the food they needed for the 200 shelter animals. Sauvons nos Animaux was a 2020 and 2021 Africa-Based Animal Welfare Organization Grantee. These Special Projects were used to strengthen the fundraising and marketing capacities of Save Animals and Sauvons nos Animaux. In the DR Congo, one of the poorest and most conflict-ridden countries, it's very difficult to raise money for animal welfare causes. These projects were used to help the two organizations make contacts beyond their borders and to demonstrate good fundraising and marketing methods as part of our Friendly Audit Program. 45432 45432 0 196664 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 NM X X X Karen Menczer 5758340908 PO Box 300 Jemez Springs NM 87025 X Karen Menczer Executive Director 40.00 0 X 0 0 0 Betsie Van Dyke Treasurer 5 0 X 0 0 0 Ron Stryker Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jean Merriman Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Barbara Brown Abolafia Secretary 3.00 0 X 0 0 0 Dipesh Pabari Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Karen Rae Vice President 3 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 227370 0 227370 0 122 122 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 227492 122 0 0 196664 196664 178 178 Wire fees 470 0 470 0 197312 196664 470 178 135089 165269 135089 165269 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 135089 165269 135089 165269 135089 165269 30180 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 63800 82247 108632 122305 227370 604354 63800 82247 108632 122305 227370 604354 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 604354 123 228 377 251 122 1101 123 228 377 251 122 1101 63923 82475 109009 122556 227492 605455 0.99818 0.88709 0.00182 0.00255 X 1 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grantmaking Program Services-Ongoing support to Partner Organizations: Uganda SPCA, Have a Heart-Namibia, Liberia Animal Welfare & Conservation Society, Bam Animal Clinics-Uganda, Mbwa wa Africa-Tanzania.
