SINCE ITS FOUNDING, THE NUMBER OF PETS KILLED EACH YEAR IN CHICAGO HAS BEEN REDUCED BY 91 PERCENT.PAWS CHICAGO'S LIFESAVING SUCCESS IS ROOTED IN THE NO KILL MODEL, WHICH CAN BE REPLICATED AND SCALED IN ANY COMMUNITY. THE FOUNDATION OF ALL LIFESAVING IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. BY RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT PET HOMELESSNESS AND ENGAGING PEOPLE IN LIFESAVING EFFORTS, WE CAN MAKE LASTING CHANGE FOR ANIMALS. PAWS CHICAGO'S MISSION-CRITICAL PROGRAMS- OUR NO KILL PILLARS OF PREVENTION, ADOPTION, ANIMAL HEALTH AND BEHAVIOR, AND VOLUNTEERS - SIT ATOP THIS FOUNDATION. THESE ARE THE ROBUST PROGRAMS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO BUILDING NO KILL COMMUNITIES 0 0 4206093 160359 ANIMAL HEALTH & BEHAVIOR: COMMITTING TO THE LIFE OF EACH TREATABLE PET AND PROVIDING ALL MEDICAL TREATMENT AND BEHAVIORAL ENRICHMENT NEEDED TO OPTIMIZE HEALTH AND WELLBEING IS ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL ELEMENTS OF NO KILL. BECAUSE OF EXPERT VETERINARY AND BEHAVIOR TEAMS, PAWS CHICAGO IS ONE OF THE FEW SHELTERS IN THE COUNTRY THAT CAN TREAT AND REHABILITATE A LARGE VOLUME OF SICK, INJURED AND BEHAVIORALLY CHALLENGED ANIMALS. IN 2018, PAWS CHICAGO HAD A 98.12 PERCENT SAVE RATE, EVEN WHILE TAKING IN A VULNERABLE POPULATION OF ANIMALS. THE MEDICAL CENTER THE FIRST STOP FOR HOMELESS ANIMALS WHEN THEY ARRIVE AT PAWS TREATS THE MOST SERIOUS CASES ONSITE. THE ORGANIZATION HAS CULTIVATED A ROBUST FOSTER NETWORK FOR PETS RECEIVING MORE SIMPLE TREATMENT. THE PAWS TRAINING & FOSTER CARE (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) (CONTINUED FROM ANIMAL HEALTH & BEHAVIOR) CENTER IS HOME TO AN INNOVATIVE DOG TRAINING AND ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMING AND A HUB TO EXPAND GEOGRAPHIC REACH TO NEW FOSTER FAMILIES. THROUGH THIS CENTER, A TEAM OF BEHAVIOR PROFESSIONALS AND TRAINED VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE HOMELESS DOGS WITH ONE-ON-ONE AND GROUP TRAINING, AGILITY AND ENRICHMENT. EXPANDING THE MEDICAL CENTER: AS THE ANIMAL WELFARE MOVEMENT CONTINUES TO GROW IN CHICAGO, HEALTHY ANIMALS ARE BEING SAVED IN RECORD NUMBERS AT THE CITY POUND, WHICH MEANS THE POPULATION OF ANIMALS IN NEED OF RESCUE INCREASINGLY TENDS TO BE SPECIAL MEDICAL CASES, WITH ANIMALS REQUIRING ENHANCED RESOURCES TO TREAT. TO SAVE MORE LIVES, PAWS CHICAGO IS LAUNCHING A MAJOR EXPANSION OF ITS MEDICAL CENTER AND SHELTER MEDICINE PROGRAM TO INCREASE CAPACITY TO TAKE IN SICK AND INJURED ANIMALS. 2269996 817301 PREVENTION & SPAY/NEUTER: PREVENTING UNWANTED PETS FROM BEING BORN IS KEY TO BUILDING A NO KILL CHICAGO. THE MAJORITY OF STRAY, FERAL AND UNWANTED PETS ORIGINATE IN LOW-INCOME, UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES. WITH THE PAWS CHICAGO LURIE CLINIC LOCATED IN LITTLE VILLAGE AND THE GUSMOBILE SPAY/NEUTER VAN, WHICH BRINGS LIFE-SAVING SOLUTIONS DIRECTLY TO NEIGHBORHOODS MOST IN NEED, PAWS CHICAGO PERFORMED 16,750 SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES IN 2018. INCREASING SPAY/NEUTER OUTREACH AND MEETING PEOPLE WHO WOULD NEVER KNOW ABOUT PAWS CHICAGO'S SUPPORT AND RESOURCES IS THE KEY OBJECTIVE OF THE PAWS FOR LIFE OUTREACH EFFORTS. THE PRIMARY NEIGHBORHOOD OF FOCUS IS ENGLEWOOD, WHERE MORE THAN 49 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION LIVES BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. PAWS ACHIEVED SPAY/NEUTER CONVERSION RATE OF 83 PERCENT OF (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) (CONTINUED FROM PREVENTION & SPAY/NEUTER) ALL UNALTERED PETS THEY MET THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. PAWS CHICAGO'S FERAL CAT TRAP NEUTER RETURN (TNR) PROGRAM IS ANOTHER CRITICAL ASPECT OF THE TARGETED SPAY/NEUTER APPROACH. IT IS AIMED AT PROACTIVELY STERILIZING AND MANAGING THE FREE ROAMING CAT POPULATION, THE SOURCE OF THOUSANDS OF UNWANTED KITTENS BORN EACH YEAR. TNR REDUCES THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS ENTERING THE SHELTERING SYSTEM EACH YEAR WHILE ALSO SAVING KITTENS AND FINDING THEM ADOPTIVE HOMES. IN 2018, PAWS PERFORMED 2,914 SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES ON FERAL CATS. THESE PREVENTION EFFORTS ARE CRITICAL TO ENDING THE KILLING OF HOMELESS PETS, WITH THE ACHIEVEMENT OF AN 91 PERCENT REDUCTION IN KILLING SINCE 1997, PRIMARILY FROM FEWER PETS ENTERING SHELTERS. 2051669 1019474 ADOPTION: RESCUING HOMELESS PETS AND UNITING THEM WITH THEIR NEW FAMILIES IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF WHAT PAWS CHICAGO DOES ON A DAILY BASIS. THROUGH PAWS CHICAGO'S ADOPTION CENTERS, OFFSITE EVENTS AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING, 5,591 ANIMALS FOUND LOVING HOMES IN 2018. THE PIPPEN FASSEAS ADOPTION CENTER IN LINCOLN PARK, WHICH OPENED IN 2007, REDEFINED ANIMAL SHELTERING AS THE FIRST CAGELESS, STATE-OF-THE-ART, NO KILL SHELTER IN THE MIDWEST. PAWS CHICAGO'S FIRST SATELLITE ADOPTION FACILITY, THE GLENN L. FELNER ADOPTION CENTER, LOCATED INSIDE THE HIGHLAND PARK PETCO, WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR 430 ADOPTIONS IN 2018. PAWS ALSO HOLDS INNOVATIVE ON-SITE ADOPTION EVENTS LIKE SPRING AND HOLIDAY ADOPT-A-THONS TO RAISE AWARENESS AND BRING IN THE COMMUNITY, RESULTING IN MORE LIVES SAVED. IN ADDITION, THROUGH (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) (CONTINUED FROM ADOPTION) OFF-SITE ADOPTION EVENTS IN CHICAGO AND VARIOUS SUBURBAN LOCATIONS, THE ORGANIZATION BRINGS ADOPTABLE ANIMALS TO HIGH-TRAFFIC SHOPPING CENTERS AND RETAIL STORES WHERE PEOPLE WILL STOP, PLAY WITH THE ANIMALS AND THINK ABOUT ADOPTING. 1235336 VOLUNTEERS: VOLUNTEERS ARE THE LIFE-FORCE BEHIND PAWS CHICAGO'S OPERATIONS AND AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT TO BUILDING A NO KILL CHICAGO. IN 2018, VOLUNTEERS DEDICATED 143,933 HOURS OF SERVICE, FULFILLING THE WORK OF 69 FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. AND THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE FOSTER FAMILIES WHO TOOK IN AND CARED FOR ANIMALS IN NEED. IN 2018, 3,325 ANIMALS WERE PLACED IN FOSTER CARE. IN ADDITION TO THE TIME THEY COMMIT TO PAWS CHICAGO, VOLUNTEERS ARE ALSO AMBASSADORS, REACHING NEW PEOPLE AND ENGAGING NEW COMMUNITIES IN THE CAUSE OF HOMELESS ANIMALS THROUGH THEIR EVERYDAY INTERACTIONS. 1235336 9763094 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 22 0 1 222 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 IL X X X ALISA R BRILL 7734753301 1933 N MARCEY STREET CHICAGO IL 60614 PAULA FASSEAS CHAIRMAN 30.00 X X 0 0 0 PAM CAREY PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ALEXIS FASSEAS TREASURER 30.00 X X 0 0 0 GEORGE KARCAZES SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK DUGGAN PROFESSOR ADVISORY BOARD 0.30 X 0 0 0 SUZANNE LEMIGNOT ADVISORY BOARD 1.00 X 0 0 0 JANICE BECK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA BRADFORD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA CANNING BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL CANNING BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE CROWN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES DAY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA DENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER FASSEAS BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 GLENN FELNER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RAJ FERNANDO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SONIA FLORIAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUZIE GLICKMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 AMY MACK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MAYARI PRITZKER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR BARBARA ROYAL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT SHERMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARIA SMITHBURG BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL SWEIG BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MURRAY PERETZ BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KURT SEIDENSTICKER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTIN PEARSON CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 40.00 X 141196 0 0 ALISA BRILL CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 40.00 X 137202 0 0 BARBARA KOMPARE VET - SHELTER MEDICINE 40.00 X 131358 0 0 SHERYL LESCH CHIEF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OFFICER 40.00 X 134646 0 3508 TODD LESSER VP MEDICAL CENTER OPS 40.00 X 127093 0 6274 MOHAMED ELHANAFY VETERINARIAN 40.00 X 119705 0 3587 DEBORAH LINK VET - SHELTER MEDICINE 40.00 X 114359 0 0 905559 0 13369 8 0 0 0 RWE MANAGEMENT 16W361 S FRONTAGE RD SUITE 106 BURR RIDGE IL 60527 CONSTRUCTION 395712 LAUTMAN MASKA NEILL & CO 1730 RHODE ISLAND AVE NW SUITE 301 WASHINGTON DC 20036 STRATEGY/ FUNDRAISING 220876 CROSSREALMS INC 20 W KINZIE ST FLOOR 17 CHICAGO IL 60654 INFORMATION SYSTEMS 149729 LINDEN GROUP 10100 ORLAND PARKWAY SUITE 110 ORLAND PARK IL 60467 ARCHITECT 138185 BELARDI WONG 39 BROADWAY 32ND FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10006 DATA ANALYTICS 125301 5 2429611 12728476 2738774 15158087 ADOPTION FEES 812900 1019474 1019474 LURIE CLINIC INCOME 541990 817301 817301 TRAINING CENTER 812900 159704 159704 ADMISSION CENTER 812900 655 655 1997134 1637804 1637804 8887654 8845619 42035 42035 42035 982563 2429611 1750362 -767799 -767799 36215 19805 16410 16410 19546 17348 2198 2198 OTHER MISC REVENUE 900099 70223 70223 MAGAZINE ADVERTISING 541800 14940 14940 85163 18171032 1997134 14940 1000871 278398 147258 131140 4887647 4599330 235431 52886 355155 322137 29185 3833 417736 386860 26957 3919 836937 437448 204062 195427 7440 5690 1750 286140 259853 25162 1125 199700 194800 4165 735 64780 61343 1751 1686 8054 8043 11 559983 518622 38754 2607 46357 36245 9445 667 MEDICAL SUPPLIES 880467 880467 ANIMAL CARE SUPPLIES 586294 586294 PRINTING AND PRODUCTION 479700 325928 2067 151705 TECHNOLOGY EXPENSE 338965 259130 76373 3462 857839 733646 20311 103882 11091592 9763094 804814 523684 3489990 3951166 1221849 2734619 2290800 2147003 1012881 381244 115660 90615 329784 334639 17293507 4837909 12147586 12455598 38019391 38097014 58627941 60191898 724684 631275 168658 206505 893342 837780 X 43410693 42480547 8389610 8493197 5934296 8380374 57734599 59354118 58627941 60191898 7079440 -5459921 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 11609561 14979923 10334265 12759996 15158087 64841832 11609561 14979923 10334265 12759996 15158087 64841832 5996957 58844875 863778 411458 605225 1194814 1637804 4713079 70223 70223 69625134 10295400 0.84520 0.85540 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 33021011 5055508 38076519 25296830 7724181 33021011 17510716 7786114 25296830 13478832 4031884 17510716 10859822 1244550 1374460 13478832 0.82000 0.18000 0 0 3874619 3874619 9194107 2668380 6525727 2378779 795539 1583240 1051037 831165 219872 794965 542825 252140 12455598 X 14498626 -5459921 -5459921 19958547 -1787515 -1787515 18171032 12879107 1787515 1787515 11091592 0 11091592 PART V, LINE 4: THE BOARD HAS DESIGNATED FUNDS FOR LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY.
