Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Part I Line 20   Difference in revenue realized in tax return last year
    moved to this year
    ...
    New Jersey Aid For Animals, Inc. (NJAFA) is the only all-volunteer humane organization helping animals in the
    City of Camden,the most violent city in America. We receive no government funding, no municipal
    funding and have been able to deliver all our programs with only donations from the public.
    ...
    NJAFA runs very lean with volunteers and a supportive advisory board that allows us to save
    money on professional services; the funding can go toward the animals. A group of
    professionals makes up our Advisory Board who lend their expertise to NJAFA thus saving us
    thousands of dollars each year. We have an attorney, Facebook expert and CPA, as well as two
    individuals with a corporate and business background that act as consultants for important
    decisions regarding NJAFA.
    ...
    The only paid professional is an independent bookkeeper. NJAFA feels it is important to keep the books and
    a check and balance system with individuals not connected to our board or advisory board.
    ...
    When you give to NJAFA you are donating something of value in exchange for other
    things of value -- the good work of our organization and the benefit it provides to the
    communities we are serving. This is a fair exchange, one both we and our donors can feel good about.
    ...
    COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND COLLABORATION
    ...
    Whether collaborating with the local fire dept., FOP Lodge in Camden, or other
    organizations to network an animal, NJAFA attends meetings made up of the infrastructure of
    different communities, vis a vis, clergy, academics, educators, police, fire, private businesses

    and other non-profits to recognize and collaborate on the animal problems within that area.

    In addition to rescuing and adopting out dozens of dogs and cats, some of NJAFA's
    signature programs and accomplishments for 2012 include:
    ...
    "Operation Knockout" Consumer Education Spay/Neuter Program"
    ...
    Bernard Hopkins, the famous fighter, posed for NJAFA gratis and in partnership with a
    local billboard company got the message erected for a mere $400 per panel for four weeks.
    Billboards were funded with restricted donations from private corporations.
    NJAFA solicited corporations like J & J Snacks in Pennsauken and Best Friends in Utah who
    sponsored several boards with their name alongside NJAFA and they were
    recognized throughout South Jersey as supporters of the uber important mission of spaying
    and neutering pit bulls. Over 5000 a year get euthanized in the city of
    Philadelphia, a few miles away from Camden City.
    ...
    In 2012 of the 330 pit bulls that the local low cost spay neuter clinic fixed, 187 came
    from "Operation Knockout," the consumer education spay/neuter billboards.
    ...
    Dog House Project
    ...
    NJAFA's focus is on recycling, reusing and rehoming. In 2007, NJAFA began partnering
    with a local fence company to make dog houses from leftover privacy fences. We add a little
    carpet flap on the front to keep it extra warm, straw for bedding. NJAFA delivers the warm
    dog houses to dogs forced to live outside in Camden, NJ, the most violent city in America. It's
    a win win for the environment, Burger Fence and of course the pooches. Although NJAFA
    receives a very generous discount on the houses, we still solicit individual and corporate
    sponsors to donate so we can keep up with the demand. If we don't get a sponsor we can't get the
    dog houses. The same fence company also put up a gate at a home where a chained dog was
    living that had a fence but no gate. The only thing between life at the end of a chain and a big
    yard to play was a gate.

    ...
    Vaccines to animals in Camden City, NJ
    ...
    NJAFA is the only all-volunteer organization that brings life saving vaccines to the
    animals in Camden City where residents have no means of transportation to get their animals to a
    vet. At the vaccine clinics we are able to sign people up to have their animals fixed and NJAFA
    under our Fetch. Fix. Return program will transport the dogs and cats to the local low cost clinic
    and bring them back after they are spayed or neutered. In 2012 we vaccinated over 500 dogs and
    cats and transported dozens of cats and dogs to be altered.
    ...
    Solutions to animal issues help people too
    ...
    Offering solutions to problems with animals is a daily event for NJAFA. We receive and
    return dozens of calls and emails every day from people all over the State of NJ who either need
    to give up an animal, don't have food, can't afford medical treatment or myriad of other reasons.
    We offer a list of medical financial aid organizations, low cost vet services, help to rehome an
    animal, offer food if they can't afford or just try to walk the individual through the problem and
    find a solution together.
    ...
    NJAFA works very closely with local animal control and cruelty officers in Camden and
    testify frequently for abuse cases and intentional or accidental breeding which is prohibited.
    ...
    Animal Abuse
    ...
    NJAFA is the only organization that reports AND follows the abusers through the court
    system. Local humane law enforcements report and get convictions but no one follows the
    abusers through the court system to ensure the abuser paid his dues, restitution or completed his
    community service. NJAFA will also file the charges if local law enforcement or humane
    enforcement does not want to file charges. Founder and President Kathy McGuire is the only
    private citizen in NJ that has ever received a conviction on another private citizen without help of
    humane law enforcement. NJAFA is still following up with Adult Probation on an abuser that
    owes us over $4,000 in restitution for taking care of his pit bulls involved in dog fighting...
