| Form 990, Part III, Line 2: New Services | As a result of the pandemic new programs came to life in days. Neighbor Helping Neighbor Program - similar to our Pet Rehoming Program, where people post their pets on our site to find them new homes - matching pet owners with good Samaritans, willing to provide temporary guardianship for their pet until the owners were able to care for them again.It was crucial to continue supporting the feral cat caregivers by offering Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) programs. With the assistance of a Tufts University veterinarian student, who joined us as an extern after losing her summer employment due to the pandemic, a new spay/neuter program was developed that uses trained volunteer to work to several pre-surgery "stations" allowing more cats to get "fixed" at one time.Knowing that the financial hardship accompanying the pandemic would put stress on pet owner's ability to feed their pets, risking more animals being surrendered to shelters, the "grab and go" Pet Food Pantry was expanded for daily pickup. Our call for donated supplies was heard, and we received tons of pet related items and toms of other supplies. To spread the supplies to others in need, AWA contacted nine local organizations with an offer to share our excess. They were delighted to receive theses much needed items to pass along to the families they assist. To date 600 kids have received school supplies, household cleaning items have gone to 800 families and more that 30,000 pet meals have been provided to pets in need.Of course, lifesaving never stopped. Out medical team fixed the eyes, bones and sores of hundreds of ill and injured cats treated puppies with Parvo and dozens of dogs with heartworm. Fiscal year's pandemic weeks were still filled with stores of animals that came to AWA from dangerous situations and found a better life. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: A Place Where Happiness Begins Campaign - At the start of 2019 AWA embarked on its most challenging fund raising effort in its history - raising $ 2.5 million dollars for the construction of a 25,000 sq ft adoption/shelter clinic/education center - 4 times larger than its current 55 year old 5,000 sq ft facility that's limited space, inefficient layout, and deteriorating building conditions impeded operations.Over the twelve months, a dedicated team worked with donors, companies and foundations to secure 72% of the total keeping on pact to start construction in the spring of 2020. Trailers were put in place to serve as temporary facilities during the construction, and the ream had alternative operation plans ready to go to address disruptions in operations due to the building. The AWA team was on the ball and looking forward to opening the new building and expanding programs by the end of 2020,Then the hum and hurry of impactful programs - remarkable adoptions, public classes, humane education, wellness and low-cost surgeries - were all silenced. That is the power of a pandemic. Life at AWA took a drastic turn in March 2020.Just weeks from breaking ground on the new building and about to hold our largest fund raiser, the shutdown went into effect. We were a little disoriented - the Pet Clinic closed for six weeks, staff needed to remain home due to school closings, we had to ration some supplies and visitors, volunteers school groups, etc. were no longer able to come to our facility. But we found our bearings and got creative. Services and programs critical to the mission of saving animals lives and assisting per owners in the community had to continue.The capital campaign's last push to close the $ 500,000 needed to build was put on pause as all those around us were addressing the ramifications of the closure on th overall economy.Along with placing the fundraising on pause for the new building, government closures of offices and construction material delays, caused the start o the construction project to move from spring 2020 to late fall 2020. Unfortunately, each month's delay is responsible for a decrease in program activity and a subsequent reduction in revenue activity. |
