FFGW Reports

FFGW Expenses (2022)

100% of your donations go to caring for the animals and the ordinary expenses of running a non-profit organization that is insured and licensed in Virginia. The chart above shows you how our funds are spent – and you can see that we keep our non-animal care expenses as low as possible, with our main expenditure – veterinary cost – dwarfing even our second most expense, supplies for the adoption center in the Leesburg PetSmart.

According to Charity Navigator, non-profits should spend less than 10% of their income on fundraising (FFGW is at 3% for fundraising as our only fundraising expenses are our periodic paper mailings) and less than 35% on overhead (taking all expenses other than medical as “overhead” – hosting our website, insurance, required accounting audits, cat food, litter, toys, etc. –  FFGW overhead is at about 15% of income. In other words, roughly 85% of donations go to medical expenses for the cats.  We’re pretty proud of that efficiency.  

When you donate to FFGW, you know that the cats benefit directly.
