The operating expenses for AACT were USD $550,000 and were used to provide medicine and food for about 600 animals a day among whom 120 are large - cows, donkeys, bulls; spay/neuter of 240 dogs per month, and 80 Indian staff members. The Executive Co-Directors (Jim Myers, Erika Abrams, Claire Abrams Myers)do not draw any salary but rather are volunteers.Our goal is to purchase land to establish Animal Aid Unlimited's permanent hospital and sanctuary. Since Animal Aid Unlimited's inception, we have operated on rented land. In this area it is rare to find more than 1 acre with a single owner. 10 acres unimproved land costs about USD $2 million. We have reserved: - $500,000 as a one-year safety and emergency reserve - $1,000,000 toward our permanent land and facilities development, which is temporarily invested in an interest-bearing account. 1238360 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 2 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false X X GREG SERUM 2063295611 234 TENTH AVE E SEATTLE WA 98102 X ERIKA ABRAMS-MYERS President 60.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES EDWARD MYERS Vice President 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CLAIRE ABRAMS MYERS Trustee 60.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN KINCH Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PATRICIA HAMMERLE Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 2211557 2211557 0 23381 23381 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 JEWELRY SALES 15553 15553 15553 2250491 15553 23381 0 0 1222069 1222069 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46286 46286 0 0 0 0 7365 7365 0 328 328 0 0 0 168 168 Database Management 5421 5421 Bank Charges 4839 4839 Royalty Fees 4000 4000 Postage and Shipping 2959 2900 59 287 277 10 1293722 1238360 9076 46286 811489 363469 2146004 3550793 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2957493 3914262 0 0 X 2957493 3914262 2957493 3914262 2957493 3914262 956769 X false false false X 296262 72852 1416489 1992245 2211557 5989405 0 0 296262 72852 1416489 1992245 2211557 5989405 94743 5894662 2259 13650 23381 39290 0 0 6028695 0.97780 0.93360 X true INDIA STRAY ANIMAL CARE 1222069 CASH 1 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US The use of grants outside the USA requires the grantee organization to provide annual tax returns and to make available to Animal Aid Unlimited trustees monthly balance sheet upon request within 24 hours of the request.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et Animal Aid Unlimited was founded by Erika Abrams-Myers (President) and James Myers, (Vice President.) They are husband and wife. At the time of founding in 2002, their daughter Claire Abrams Myers was 12; when she became an adult she fully embraced the mission and was made a Trustee. The founding family lives in Seattle as their permanent address, but spends most of their time in Udaipur, Rajasthan India, where they serve as honorary unpaid Executive Co-Directors of Animal Aid Charitable Trust, the entity which legally runs the hospital and rescue center where Animal Aid Unlimited grants most of its funds. Most of the funds held in Animal Aid Unlimited's accounts which have not been transferred to Animal Aid Charitable Trust (AACT) are reserved for AACT for future general operating funds, or as land purchase and capital equipment funding when AACT's formal request for these funds are submitted and approved by AAU, or held as a corpus against unexpected emergency needs which can arise from time to time, in response to natural and man-made disaster.
