ORGANIZATION MISSION STATEMENT FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY (THE "ORGANIZATION") IS A CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION THAT HAS OPERATED CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1929. THE FOCUS OF THE ORGANIZATION IS COMPANION ANIMAL RESCUE AND HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION. THE ORGANIZATION SERVES AS A SAFETY NET FOR COMPANION ANIMALS IN SILICON VALLEY, SETS A NATIONAL EXAMPLE FOR INNOVATION AND SEEKS TO TRANSFORM HUMAN LIVES THROUGH DEEPER CONNECTIONS TO ANIMALS. THE IMPACT ACHIEVED REFLECTS THE QUALITY OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS PEOPLE. * IMPACT THE ORGANIZATION IS DRIVING SIGNIFICANT, POSITIVE CHANGE FOR BOTH COMPANION ANIMALS AND THE PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR AND ABOUT THEM. THE SOLUTIONS ARE ACHIEVING GROUNDBREAKING RESULTS. SPECIFICALLY, THE ORGANIZATION: - SAVES 100% OF ALL HEALTHY ANIMALS IN THE ORGANIZATION'S CARE AND HAS DONE SO SINCE 2006. IN THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013, THE ORGANIZATION SAVED 89% OF ALL ANIMALS THAT CAME THROUGH ITS DOORS, INCLUDING MANY NEEDING REHABILITATION OR EXTENDED TREATMENT. THIS COMPARES TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 64% (FOR 2011). EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, THESE RESULTS ARE BEING ACHIEVED WHILE THE OVERALL COMMUNITY SAVE RATE CONTINUES TO IMPROVE. - PROVIDES REHABILITATION AND MEDICAL OR BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT FOR NEARLY 2,300 (IN CALENDAR 2012) ANIMALS EACH YEAR. THESE ANIMALS ARE JUST LIKE PETS MANY PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE IN THEIR HOMES TODAY BUT THEY DON'T YET HAVE THE LOVING GUARDIANS THEY NEED TO OVERCOME COMMON CHALLENGES. GIVEN TIME, SPACE, AND TAILORED MEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL ATTENTION, THESE ANIMALS CAN LEAD HIGH-QUALITY LIVES FOR YEARS TO COME AND PROVIDE PROFOUND ENRICHMENT TO THEIR FUTURE TWO-LEGGED FAMILIES. CURRENTLY, APPROXIMATELY 70% OF THE ANIMALS SAVED REQUIRE THIS KIND OF CARE AND TREATMENT. - FINDS - AND HELPS KEEP - LOVING HOMES FOR OVER 4,100 ANIMALS EACH YEAR. THIS INCLUDES PROVIDING COUNSELING AND NO COST PET FOOD TO KEEP APPROXIMATELY 140 ANIMALS IN THEIR HOMES, RETURNING 200 LOST ANIMALS TO THEIR HOMES, TRANSFERRING 380 ANIMALS, INCLUDING WILD LIFE, TO RESCUE GROUPS, AND FACILITATING ADOPTIONS FOR NEARLY 3,400 ANIMALS. CURRENTLY, NEARLY 50% OF THESE ADOPTED ANIMALS WILL RECEIVE FOSTER CARE OR KITTEN NURSERY CARE PRIOR TO BEING MATCHED WITH THEIR NEW FAMILIES. IN ADDITION TO THE 200 LOST ANIMALS THAT THE ORGANIZATION REUNITED WITH OWNERS, ANOTHER 600 ANIMALS ARE HELPED ANNUALLY BY PROVIDING LOST AND FOUND SERVICES. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO PROVIDES "SHOWCASE" FOSTER DAYS FOR SEVERAL ANIMAL RESCUE PARTNERS. BY PROVIDING THE USE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FACILITIES TO THE SAME RESCUE GROUPS AT THE SAME TIME EACH WEEK, THESE GROUPS ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A PRESENCE WHERE POTENTIAL ADOPTERS CAN ROUTINELY FIND THEM. THIS ENABLES HUNDREDS MORE ANIMALS TO ULTIMATELY FIND HOMES EACH YEAR. - PERFORMS AND INFLUENCES OVER 8,700 SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES EACH YEAR. POTENTIALLY, THESE SURGERIES RESULT IN NEARLY 13,000 FEWER ANIMALS BEING BORN EACH YEAR. APPROXIMATELY 1,600 OF THESE ANNUAL SURGERIES ARE A RESULT OF OUR EFFORTS TO SECURE FUNDS FOR THE BROADER COMMUNITY. PETSMART CHARITIES AWARDED HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY $200,000 TO DEPLOY AND ADMINISTER, THROUGH TWO LOCAL AGENCIES, A PILOT TO ADDRESS CHIHUAHUA OVERPOPULATION. THESE FUNDS COVER TWO YEARS OF PILOT OPERATIONS FOR 3,176 SURGERIES. - PROVIDES EDUCATION FOR OVER 8,000 CHILDREN, FROM PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 12TH GRADE. THESE EDUCATION PROGRAMS ENABLE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING THROUGH INTERACTIONS WITH ANIMALS. THIS INCLUDES ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN AND AT-RISK YOUTH - MANY WITH LITTLE PRIOR EXPOSURE TO ANIMALS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO WORKS WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE CAREFULLY DESIGNED PROGRAMS TAILORED TO THEIR STUDENTS' UNIQUE NEEDS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO NEED SUPPORT IN BUILDING EMPATHY, RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING AND RELATIONSHIP SKILLS. THESE OUTCOMES DEMONSTRATE THAT HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY IS DELIVERING ON AND ADVANCING ITS MISSION TO GROUNDBREAKING LEVELS. * INNOVATION HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY IS SETTING A NATIONAL EXAMPLE FOR LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATION AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. THE ORGANIZATION HAS SHATTERED THE NOTION OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE GUARDIANSHIP OF HOMELESS ANIMALS AND HAS ESTABLISHED NEW STANDARDS FOR WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED. SPECIFICALLY, THE ORGANIZATION: - CREATED AND LEADS AN INTER-AGENCY COALITION TO SAVE THE LIVES OF COMPANION ANIMALS IN SILICON VALLEY. THE ORGANIZATION FOUNDED THIS COALITION TO PROVIDE A PLATFORM FOR PUBLIC ANIMAL-CARE AGENCIES TO WORK TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY TO SAVE LIVES. VISIONARY LEADERSHIP IS IGNITING THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO COLLABORATE IN ACHIEVING GOALS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT UNATTAINABLE. IN 2004, THE COMMUNITY WIDE SAVE RATE WAS 30%; IN THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 IT WAS NEARLY 77%. - DEVELOPED, IN CONJUNCTION WITH PETCO, A NEW OPERATING MODEL THAT DEMONSTRATES THE POWER OF NON-PROFIT/FOR-PROFIT PARTNERSHIP. HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN THE NATION WITH MULTIPLE ADOPTION CENTERS THAT ARE PERMANENTLY CO-LOCATED INSIDE PETCO STORES. HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY PROVIDES CONSISTENT, ON-GOING STAFFING AND COMFORTABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENTS WHILE ANIMALS AWAIT ADOPTION. PETCO PROVIDES USE OF THEIR RETAIL SPACE AND SUPPLIES THE FOOD AND SUPPLIES NECESSARY TO CARE FOR THESE ANIMALS. THESE CENTERS MAKE ADOPTIONS MORE ACCESSIBLE BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION BECOMES PART OF LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND MAINTAINS HOURS CONVENIENT FOR POTENTIAL ADOPTERS. OVER 1,000 OF THE ORGANIZATION'S ADOPTIONS HAPPEN THROUGH THESE PETCO NEIGHBORHOOD ADOPTION CENTERS. IN ADDITION, THESE PETCO STORES NO LONGER SELL RABBITS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY ARE ABLE TO RELY ON THE ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE RESCUE RABBITS THAT THEY WOULD OTHERWISE PURCHASE THROUGH PET WHOLESALERS AND BREEDING MILLS. - CRAFTED AND SPEARHEADED A FIRST-OF-ITS KIND SPAY/NEUTER PILOT, OPERATING ACROSS MULTIPLE LOCAL AGENCIES, THAT TARGETS REVERSING THE RUNAWAY TREND OF CHIHUAHUA OVERPOPULATION. THIS PILOT HAS ALREADY INSPIRED ANOTHER COMMUNITY OUTSIDE THE BAY AREA TO BEGIN EFFORTS TO LAUNCH A SIMILAR VERSION OF THIS PROGRAM. - DESIGNED ITS REGIONAL RESCUE PROGRAM IN THE SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY AND COLLABORATION. THE ORGANIZATION SERVES AS A SAFETY NET FOR ANIMALS THAT MOST NEED HELP IN THE COMMUNITY AND SAVES ANIMALS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE NOT HAVE RESCUE OPTIONS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO RESCUES ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT THEIR PARTNERING AGENCIES BUT ARE NOT THRIVING OR ARE BEING OVERLOOKED BY POTENTIAL ADOPTERS. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION COLLABORATES WITH LOCAL RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS TO SAVE LIVES WHEN THEY BECOME OVERBURDENED FROM SITUATIONS SUCH AS HOARDING CASES OR TAKING IN LARGE NUMBERS OF ANIMALS FROM RESEARCH FACILITIES. - BUILT THE STATE-OF-THE-ART, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ANIMAL COMMUNITY CENTER, WHICH IS ONE OF THE FIRST GOLD LEED CERTIFIED ANIMAL FACILITIES IN THE COUNTRY. THIS FACILITY SETS NEW STANDARDS FOR THE CARE OF HOMELESS ANIMALS AND THE WAY THAT PEOPLE LEARN ABOUT, ENGAGE WITH, AND CELEBRATE ANIMALS. THIS FACILITY BRINGS TOGETHER AND LEVERAGES THE POWER OF INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF BOTH COMPANION ANIMALS AND PEOPLE. - COMMITTED TO FOCUSING ON COMBINING COMPASSION AND COMMITMENT TO HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY'S MISSION (HEART) WITH PROFESSIONALISM AND COMPETENCE (HEAD). THE ORGANIZATION SEEKS TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS IN ANIMAL CARE AND EXPERIENCED LEADERS FROM THE FOR-PROFIT AND NONPROFIT WORLDS WHO ARE DRAWN TO THE ORGANIZATION'S APPROACH AND PHILOSOPHY. - IMPLEMENTED TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN OPERATIONS AND FINANCIALS. THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDIT REPORT, 990 AND ANNUAL REPORT ARE ALL POSTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE. - THE ORGANIZATION'S LEADERSHIP AND EXPERTISE ARE REVOLUTIONIZING COMPANION ANIMAL CARE IN SILICON VALLEY AND SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR WHAT IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NATION. HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY IS DEMONSTRATING ON A LOCAL LEVEL THAT INSPIRATION AND DETERMINATION CAN DRIVE COMMUNITY COLLABORATION THAT SAVES AND ENHANCES LIVES. * STRATEGIC DIRECTION HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY'S STRATEGIC DIRECTION IS CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY COLLABORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF LIVES SAVED. COMPANION ANIMALS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY COME FIRST. THE AIMS ARE TO: - ACHIEVE A SAVE RATE OF 95% OR GREATER. THIS INCLUDES CONTINUING TO SAVE 100% OF ALL HEALTHY ANIMALS THAT COME UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CARE. IT ALSO INCLUDES ATTAINING THE GOAL TO SAVE 100% OF ANIMALS THAT CAN BE HEALED THROUGH REHABILITATION AND MEDICAL OR BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT. - LEAD THE COMMUNITY COALITION IN CONTINUING TO SAVE 100% OF HEALTHY ANIMALS IN SILICON VALLEY. THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE MADDIE'S FUND LIFESAVING AWARD SIGNIFIES THE COALITIONS ONGOING COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVE THIS RESULT ANNUALLY AND FOREVER. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO WANTS TO INSPIRE THE COALITION TO REACH FOR THE SAME GOAL OF SAVING 100% OF ANIMALS THAT CAN BE HEALED THROUGH REHABILITATION AND MEDICAL OR BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT. CHARITY NAVIGATOR AND GUIDESTAR ARE KEY ORGANIZATIONS THAT RATE NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION PERTAINS TO RATINGS AND COMPARABILITY TO OTHER NOT FOR PROFITS. THE ORGANIZATION'S FUNDRAISING EXPENSES, AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES, AND ITS FUNDRAISING EFFICIENCY (COST TO RAISE $1) ARE HIGHER THAN SOME OTHER ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS DUE TO THE ADDITIONAL COSTS NECESSARY TO FUND THE COMPREHENSIVE CAMPAIGN. THE ORGANIZATION'S GOAL IS TO BECOME A NATIONAL MODEL FOR SAVING THE LIVES OF COMPANION ANIMALS THAT ARE CAPABLE OF HEALING. THE COMPREHENSIVE CAMPAIGN IS NEEDED TO SUSTAIN AND INCREASE THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IMPACT THROUGH PROGRESSIVE AND SCALABLE PROGRAMS. TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL, AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE CAMPAIGN IS REQUIRED. IN ADDITION, DURING THE CAMPAIGN, ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS SPEND MORE TIME FUNDRAISING AND, THEREFORE, A GREATER PERCENTAGE OF THOSE SALARIES ARE ALLOCATED TOWARDS FUNDRAISING RATHER THAN ADMINISTRATIVE (MANAGEMENT AND GENERAL) EXPENSE. IF THOSE SALARIES WERE ALLOCATED TOWARDS ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE, THE ORGANIZATION'S FUNDRAISING EFFICIENCY RATING IN CHARITY NAVIGATOR WOULD INCREASE POSITIVELY. AT THE SAME TIME, THE ORGANIZATION'S ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE WOULD STILL MAINTAIN ITS EXCELLENT RATING DUE TO A VERY LOW PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES SPENT ON MANAGEMENT EVEN WHEN THOSE ALLOCATED SALARIES ARE REABSORBED INTO THE ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORY. IN ADDITION, CHARITY NAVIGATOR RATES ORGANIZATIONS' PRIMARY REVENUE GROWTH RATE, WHICH IS CALCULATED BASED ON REVENUE GROWTH FROM THE BASE YEAR. THE BASE YEAR FOR THE CALCULATION IS FIVE YEARS AGO. FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013, CHARITY NAVIGATOR HAS RATED HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY'S PRIMARY REVENUE GROWTH RATE AS LOW BECAUSE AN UNUSUALLY LARGE BEQUEST OF $6,250,000 WAS RECEIVED FIVE YEARS AGO, IN THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2008. BOTH OF THE ABOVE FACTORS NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE FINANCIAL PORTION OF HUMANE SOCIETY SILICON VALLEY'S RATING ON CHARITY NAVIGATOR, A KEY NON PROFIT CHARITY RATING ORGANIZATION. HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION'S STRENGTHS ARE ITS PROGRAM EFFICIENCY RATIO AND ITS ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY RATINGS.
