LIABILITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS ARE MEASURED BASED UPON THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON SETTLEMENT. THE GUIDANCE ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ALSO ADDRESSES DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES ON INCOME TAXES, AND ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS. WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS, THE SOCIETY IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND PRIOR.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule G, Part I, Line 2b(v) PAYMENT OF FUNDRAISING EXPENSES THE AGREEMENTS THE HSUS ENTERED INTO WITH CHAPMAN CUBINE AND HUSSEY, INC., DONOR SERVICES GROUP, LLC, TARGET MARKETEAM, INC., AND TELEFUND INC. ALLOWED FOR THE PAYMENT OF FUNDRAISING EXPENSES (SUCH AS PRINTING, PAPER, POSTAGE, ENVELOPES AND MAILING LIST RENTALS) IN ADDITION TO THE PAYMENT OF FEES FOR PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING SERVICES. THESE VENDORS PROVIDE DETAILS WHICH ALLOW THE HSUS TO IDENTIFY WHICH COSTS ARE FOR PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING AND WHICH COSTS ARE RELATED TO GENERAL FUNDRAISING EXPENSES. THE HSUS PAID OUT $221,399, $116,068, $872,055, and $6,286 to CHAPMAN CUBINE AND HUSSEY, INC., DONOR SERVICES GROUP, LLC, TARGET MARKETEAM, INC., AND TELEFUND INC., RESPECTIVELY, FOR FUNDRAISING EXPENSES. IN ADDITION TO THE ORGANIZATIONS WHICH APPEAR ON SCHEDULE G, PART I, THE HSUS DID ENTER INTO ARRANGEMENTS WITH EIGHTEEN FUNDRAISING VENDORS WHERE THE ORGANIZATION MADE PAYMENTS EXCLUSIVELY FOR FUNDRAISING EXPENSES BUT NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING SERVICES. THESE VENDORS HANDLE TASKS SUCH AS THE COMPILATION OF MAILING LISTS, PRINTING, DATA PROCESSING SERVICES, AND MAILING OF DIRECT MAIL PIECES, BUT THEY DO NOT ASSIST WITH THE CREATION OR PREPARATION OF THE DIRECT MAIL LETTERS, NOR ARE THEY INVOLVED IN ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING ACTIVITY.
Schedule G, Part I GENERAL EXPLANATION: THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (HSUS) AND ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES RELY ON A SUBSTANTIAL AND LONGSTANDING PROGRAM OF DIRECT MAIL FUNDRAISING TO SUPPORT THE FULL RANGE OF ACTIVITIES THEY UNDERTAKE ON BEHALF OF ANIMALS, WHETHER IT INVOLVES HANDS-ON CARE, POLICY WORK, SCIENTIFIC OR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, HUMANE EDUCATION, LITIGATION, PUBLICATION, OR COMMUNICATION. DIRECT MAIL HAS PLAYED A FUNDAMENTAL ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HSUS AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND IT REMAINS CRUCIAL TO THE ORGANIZATIONS' SUCCESS IN HELPING ANIMALS. AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL THAT DESCRIBES THE ORGANIZATIONS' NUMEROUS PROGRAMS AND CAMPAIGNS TO HELP ANIMALS, DIRECT MAIL FUNDRAISING HELPS TO CREATE GREATER AWARENESS OF THE ORGANIZATIONS' CAMPAIGNS AND CONCERNS, AND HAS ALLOWED US TO BUILD A CONSTITUENCY OF SUPPORTERS UNMATCHED IN THE HUMANE FIELD, WITH TREMENDOUS SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND PRACTICAL BENEFITS TO THE ORGANIZATIONS' WORK. TO COMPLEMENT DIRECT MAIL, THE HSUS RELIES ON LARGER INDIVIDUAL GIFTS SOLICITED BY REGIONAL FUNDRAISERS, PLANNED GIVING, FACE TO FACE GIVING, AUTO DONATIONS, FOUNDATION GRANTS, TELEPHONE SOLICITATION, WORKPLACE GIVING, ONLINE SOLICITATION AND BEQUESTS. TOGETHER, THESE METHODS FORM THE BASIS OF A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO SECURING THE FUNDS AND THE CONSTITUENCY NECESSARY TO MEET OUR URGENT AND LONG TERM ANIMAL WELFARE GOALS.
Schedule G, Part I, Line 2b(vi) General explanation: HSUS has retained Grassroots Team LLC to manage face to face appeals and contacts for the charity. This face to face program is expected to allow HSUS to grow its donor base each year and to provide HSUS with an increased cash flow over time. It should also be pointed out that donations from supporters contacted in prior years via the face to face program are not included in the gross receipts totals for this vendor on the current year return. For this reason HSUS expects the amount paid to this vendor to exceed gross receipts from these face to face campaigns on the current year 990, Schedule G, Part I.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT (CONTINUED) CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4A IN ADDITION, THE HSUS DISTRIBUTES PRESS RELEASES, STATEMENTS, NEWS BRIEFS, OP-EDS, GUEST COLUMNS, AND LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TO PRINT AND DIGITAL OUTLETS. ITS CREATIVE DEPARTMENT CREATES PRINT AND ELECTRONIC MAGAZINES, BROCHURES, ADVERTISEMENTS, REPORTS, AND OTHER DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING ALL ANIMALS MAGAZINE AND ANIMAL SHELTERING MAGAZINE. The HSUS hosts several conferences and events for animal advocates including Animal Care Expo, a global professional animal care and services conference, and Taking Action for Animals (TAFA), a biennial event for advocates interested in public policy engagement. The HSUS pivoted to host both events virtually in 2020. The HSUS helps shelters improve their programs for animals and save the lives of pets at risk of losing their homes, providing expert advice, guidance and training on operations, standards, and best practices. Animal Sheltering Magazine offered coverage of best practices in sheltering and rescue; analysis of trends and developments; information on training and networking opportunities; a jobs board for the industry; a shared training and events calendar; and an archive of back issues. In 2020, the HSUS trained nearly 5,000 law enforcement officers and humane professionals to recognize and prevent animal cruelty in their communities. The HSUS also responded to cruelty cases involving the rescue of hundreds of animals and helped to secure passage of 184 new animal protection laws-80 at the state level and 104 at the local level. In 2020, 86 animal care and control agencies/organizations signed the Wild Neighbors Pledge (a commitment to using humane policies and practices for the handling of wildlife conflicts), bringing the HSUS's total number of pledges signed to 295. The HSUS trained 1,500 animal care and control professionals from 750 communities in humane solutions for conflicts with wildlife.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED) CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4C (1 OF 2) The HSUS also helped to maintain the prohibition on the slaughter of American horses for consumption abroad and gained additional funding for enforcement of the Horse Protection Act to prevent the soring of horses in the Tennessee Walking horse industry. Farm animal welfare: The HSUS won a campaign to secure passage of a state law banning the confinement of egg-laying hens and the sale of eggs from caged chickens, saving some 6 million birds per year from the misery of extreme confinement and bringing to 12 the number of states where laws have been passed against extreme confinement. The HSUS helped defeat challenges to Proposition 12, the landmark California ballot measure that outlawed the extreme confinement of egg-laying hens, mother pigs, and calves used for veal, and stops the sale of products from intensively confined animals no matter where they were raised. Stopping puppy mills: The HSUS's annual report on puppy mills in America again exposed the suffering behind "that doggie in the window," and authorities in several states took legal action against breeders the report named. The USDA finalized a new rule, requiring commercial breeders to give dogs regular veterinary care and vaccinations, provide a constant source of fresh water and demonstrate compliance with the Animal Welfare Act before obtaining a new license. Laws to prohibit the sale of puppy mill puppies in pet stores took effect in Maine and Maryland. California closed a loophole that pet stores were using to sell breeder puppies as rescued dogs. Iowa enacted stronger regulations on puppy mills and now requires commercial breeders and sellers to comply with higher standards of care. The HSUS fought off pet store preemption bills that sought to void local ordinances banning the sale of puppy mill dogs in pet stores in Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The USDA restored thousands of unredacted puppy mill inspection reports to its public website at the direction of Congress, ending a three-year blackout. More than 30 localities passed ordinances prohibiting the sale of commercially raised dogs and cats in pet stores. The HSUS's nationwide ordinance total now stands at 377. The HSUS's legal team successfully defeated an attempt by PuppyFind.com, an online puppy marketplace that promotes the sale of puppy mill puppies, to avoid a consumer protection lawsuit filed against it for misleading consumers. Wins for wildlife: The HSUS won its legal battle to keep grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem protected from trophy hunting by getting the bears relisted under the Endangered Species Act. Colorado and Washington state banned wildlife killing contests, bringing to seven the number of statewide bans on this practice. The HSUS conducted three undercover investigations into wildlife killing contests and publicly released the resulting video and pictures: scores of dead animals, their bodies stacked in piles or discarded as trash. Trophy hunters are prohibited from luring brown bears with doughnuts, dog food and food waste to bait sites and certain death in Alaska's Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, thanks to a federal court case the HSUS helped win. As a result of the undercover investigation into the ivory market in Washington, D.C., the city passed a law prohibiting the elephant ivory and rhino horn trade. A new Vermont law banned the sale of products from imperiled species, including elephant ivory, rhinoceros horn, and parts from leopards, sea turtles and giraffes.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d DESCRIPTION OF OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES CORPORATE POLICY THE WORK OF CORPORATE POLICY ENCOMPASSES ACTIVITIES SUCH AS EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF CORPORATE POLICIES CONCERNING THE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS, URGING CONSUMERS TO MODIFY THEIR SPENDING AND LIFESTYLE HABITS, AND PERSUADING THOUGHT LEADERS IN THE CORPORATE AND OTHER SECTORS TO ALIGN WITH HUMANE VALUES. Farm animal welfare: Cal-Maine Foods, the world's largest egg producer, announced that the HSUS's campaigns against extreme confinement led it to invest $310 million in cage-free facilities. The HSUS persuaded Ahold Delhaize, the fourth largest grocery company in the U.S., to eliminate the use of chicken cages and sow gestation crates by 2025 or sooner. The work with Fresh Ideas, one of America's biggest college and university food service companies, led it to pledge to offer an equal number of plant-based and animal-based entrees at every food station in cafeterias at the 40 campuses and other institutions it serves. The HSUS's audit of the practices and promises of 90 of the largest U.S. food companies led to the first Food Industry Scorecard, which holds corporations accountable for their animal welfare pledges. The scorecard's release pushed McDonald's, Jack in the Box, and Starbucks to take tangible, meaningful steps toward their pledges to switch to 100% cage-free eggs. Animals in Research and Testing: The HSUS persuaded 48 more cosmetics companies to endorse the federal Humane Cosmetics Act, which, with some exceptions, would end all animal testing for cosmetic products and ingredients in the U.S. and prohibit the import of cosmetics that have been tested on animals anywhere in the world. Ending the use of fur: In partnership with the HSUS, Nordstrom, one of America's largest luxury fashion retailers, announced it will stop selling products made with fur and exotic animal skins by the end of 2021. Wellesley, Massachusetts, became the first U.S. city outside California to ban new fur sales when the town council approved a measure proposed by a local HSUS volunteer. The HSUS's legal team helped win dismissal of a challenge filed in federal court by the International Fur Federation to San Francisco's ban on fur sales.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c PUBLIC POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT (CONTINUED) CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4C (2 OF 2) Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution: The HSUS's research project with Tufts University seeks to advance a humane fertility control tool for deer, the PZP immunocontraceptive vaccine, to stabilize and reduce deer numbers in urban communities. In 2020, observations were completed on fawning rates and seasonal deer movement in a New York pilot project. The Platero Project, a collaboration between the HSUS and Bureau of Land Management, examines the reproductive, health and behavioral impacts of PZP on a group of wild burros in northern Arizona, evaluating the feasibility and logistics of using PZP to manage wild burro populations on a large scale on the Western range. In 2020, the HSUS completed field observations and data collection for female burros and successfully delivered remote boosters by dart.
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 1 The HSUS helps animals through corporate reform, direct care, disaster and emergency response, education, field work, investigations, litigation, research and technical analysis, media outreach, and legislative and policy initiatives. Our current priorities include eliminating the extreme confinement of farm animals, stopping the inhumane mass breeding of puppies in puppy mills, and ending cosmetics testing, trophy hunting of wildlife and the killing of animals for fur. The HSUS focuses on ending the worst forms of institutionalized animal suffering. This work involves public policy initiatives, and includes contact with governments, the private sector and multinational bodies, public awareness campaigns and more. Corporate policy work encompasses activities such as expanding the number and scope of corporate policies concerning the treatment of animals, urging consumers to modify their spending and lifestyle habits, and persuading thought leaders in the corporate and other sectors to align with humane values. For more detailed information on the HSUS's programs, visit humanesociety.org to consult our 2020 Annual Report and other resources, or see the HSUS's profiles on the websites of GuideStar, the BBB Wise Giving Alliance and other charity review entities.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b DIRECT CARE AND SERVICE (CONTINUED) CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4B A LARGE PORTION OF THE HSUS'S WORK ON DIRECT CARE AND SERVICE COMES VIA SUCH AFFILIATED ENTITIES AS THE FUND FOR ANIMALS AND HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, WHICH, TOGETHER, CARE FOR, RESCUE, REHABILITATE, AND PROTECT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS YEARLY. FOR FURTHER DETAILS, SEE ENTRIES CONCERNING THE FUND FOR ANIMALS AND HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL ON SCHEDULE O; THE FUND FOR ANIMALS 2020 FORM 990; AND THE HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL 2020 FORM 990. Animal Rescue Work: In 2020, the HSUS animal rescue team was involved in 37 rescues, five of which involved field response. Of the total animals rescued from cruelty situations, 614 were from puppy mills, 2,132 from animal fighting operations, and 1,331 from hoarding and neglect cases. During the year, the animal rescue team assisted and/or relocated 417 animals impacted by natural disaster. Staff and volunteers cared for and rehabilitated traumatized dogs rescued from the South Korean dog meat trade in a custom-built temporary shelter set up by the HSUS inside an unused airline hangar in Maryland. When they were ready, the dogs went to shelter and rescue partners to find loving homes. Supporting shelters and pet owners during COVID-19: The HSUS gave $1.4 million in emergency grants to 268 animal welfare organizations so they could continue to help animals and their owners weather the challenging economic conditions created by COVID-19. In 2020, the Pets for Life (PFL) program transformed its usual methods of engagement to ensure the safety of clients and staff and respond to urgent needs created by the pandemic. PFL provided over 760,000 pounds of food across the country in 2020. In the flagship markets of Los Angeles and Philadelphia, the HSUS served 5,041 pets. In PFL mentorship markets operated by local groups that have received financial support and training, 18,547 pets received support and 72,372 services and supplies were provided. The HSUS hosted a series of webinars and trainings on the pandemic-driven eviction crisis and published an online toolkit to help allies support pet owners facing eviction, fund new or expanded services, and raise public awareness of the problem. The HSUS provided free pet food to people living in underserved areas with help from a $1 million donation from Chewy. The PFL and Rural Area Veterinary Services programs distributed more than 4 million pounds of food in hard-hit communities and rural and remote areas helping to keep thousands of people and pets together. The HSUS helped ensure that every U.S. state that enacted stay-at-home orders also designated animal shelters and veterinary services as essential, ensuring people and their pets would still have access to these critical services. Realizing the likely effect of emergency public health measures on spay/neuter surgeries, the HSUS led a coalition of more than 25 nonprofit organizations in #SpayTogether, a $2.4 million stimulus fund that helped more than 250 animal shelters and spay/neuter clinics perform more than 75,000 fast-tracked, high-quality, lifesaving spay/neuter procedures. In February, the HSUS completed Round 6 of Spayathon for Puerto Rico, a high quality, high-volume free spay/neuter initiative to address the severe overpopulation of unowned cats and dogs in the Commonwealth. Since 2018, and in conjunction with other HSUS-sponsored spay/neuter clinics, the HSUS has altered and vaccinated more than 56,000 pets across the island at no cost to their owners, preventing hundreds of thousands of litters.

Pursuant to the bylaws, the Executive Committee has and may exercise all the powers of the board when the board is not in session except (1) the power to approve or adopt, or recommend to the managing members, any action or matter (other than the election or removal of directors) expressly required by Delaware law to be submitted to the managing members for approval; (2) the power to amend, adopt, or repeal the bylaws; (3) the power to elect and remove officers; and (4) such powers as the board may specifically reserve to itself or may be specifically assigned to any other board committee or officer.

PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS, THE FINALIZED FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD FOR THEIR REVIEW AND COMMENTS.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy The HSUS's Conflict of Interest Policy applies to all directors, officers, and employees of the HSUS. The policy is incorporated in the HSUS's Employee Handbook, which all employees (including officers) receive upon joining the organization, and the Board Manual, which all directors receive upon joining the board. The policy is also covered in orientation sessions for new board directors. Additionally, a questionnaire is distributed to directors, officers, and key employees on an annual basis in order to ascertain the presence of any conflicts and enable the organization to answer Part VI, Lines 1b and 2. The questionnaires are completed, signed, and returned to the Corporate Secretary, who notifies the General Counsel of any concerns. A committee of the board of directors--the Governance Committee--is charged with considering conflicts of interest involving directors and officers. Individuals having possible conflicts of interest cannot vote, participate in committee deliberations on the subject, or be counted toward meeting a quorum (they may answer questions). Conflicts of interest involving non-officer employees are reviewed by the General Counsel.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official A committee of the board of directors, the Human Resources Committee ("HR Committee"), is charged with annually leading the compensation determination process for the President/CEO. The HR Committee makes a recommendation to the board of directors about the President/CEO's job performance and compensation, each of which must be approved by the full board. In accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of Treas. Reg. 53.4958-6, the process of determining the President/CEO's compensation involves attention to and avoidance of conflicts of interest, use of comparability data gathered and presented by an outside compensation expert, and contemporaneous documentation of the meetings, deliberations, and decisions. This process, which is completed annually, was undertaken for the tax year in May 2020.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees The board of directors determines the compensation for the HSUS's "Executive Management" (i.e., the Treasurer/CFO, COO, General Counsel/CLO, Chief Development & Marketing Officer, Chief Programs & Policy Officer, and the Chief People Officer) as well as any other individuals deemed to be "Disqualified Persons" under section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code. The board's HR Committee reviews the performance reviews of Executive Management and other Disqualified Persons, as well as the President/CEO's recommended compensation for such individuals. The HR Committee then recommends the appropriate compensation to the full board for approval. In accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of Treas. Reg. 53.4958-6, the board process for determining compensation for the HSUS's Executive Management and Disqualified Persons involves attention to and avoidance of conflicts of interest, use of comparability data gathered and presented by an outside compensation expert, and contemporaneous documentation of the meetings, deliberations, and decisions. This process, which is completed annually, was undertaken for the tax year in May 2020.

THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA, PRESENTED IN THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (THE HSUS), INCLUDES THE OPERATIONS OF THE HSUS AND THE FOLLOWING ENTITIES WHOSE MISSIONS ARE DESCRIBED BELOW: THE HUMANE SOCIETY WILDLIFE LAND TRUST EIN # 52-1808517 (HSWLT), FOUNDED IN 1993, PROTECTS WILDLIFE BY PERMANENTLY PRESERVING AND CONNECTING HABITAT. HSWLT PERMANENTLY PROTECTS A PORTFOLIO OF WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES COMPRISING MORE THAN 20,000 ACRES IN THE UNITED STATES. ON EACH SANCTUARY, WILDLIFE HABITAT AND OTHER CONSERVATION VALUES ARE MANAGED AND PROTECTED CONSISTENT WITH HSWLT'S MISSION. THE FUND FOR ANIMALS EIN #13-6218740 (THE FUND), SINCE 2005, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST HSUS ANIMAL CARE FACILITIES INCLUDING, FOR 2020, CLEVELAND AMORY BLACK BEAUTY RANCH (TX), DUCHESS SANCTUARY (OR), AND (UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2020) THE FUND FOR ANIMALS WILDLIFE CENTER (CA). THESE FACILITIES FOCUS ON REHABILITATION AND RELEASE, AND OTHER HANDS-ON CARE AND RESCUE OF INJURED, ORPHANED, AND ABANDONED ANIMALS. THEY ALSO PROMOTE THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ALL ANIMALS AND THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY THROUGH EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY. IN SEPTEMBER 2020, THE FUND FOR ANIMALS WILDLIFE CENTER WAS GIFTED TO THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY AND SEPARATED FROM THE FUND. DORIS DAY ANIMAL LEAGUE EIN #95-4117651 (DDAL), FOUNDED IN 1987 BY THE LATE ACTRESS, IS A NONPROFIT, NATIONAL, CITIZENS LOBBYING ORGANIZATION WORKING FOR THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS.

PERSONNEL RESTORE MOBILITY AND FUNCTION TO INJURED WILDLIFE, PROVIDE REHABILITATIVE CARE IN ENRICHED, SPECIES-SPECIFIC HABITATS, AND WHENEVER FEASIBLE RELEASE REHABILITATED ANIMALS BACK INTO THE WILD. THEY ALSO TREAT AND PLACE DOMESTIC, EXOTIC AND FARM ANIMALS IN NEED; AND TEACH THE PUBLIC ABOUT LIVING IN HARMONY WITH WILDLIFE. IN 2020, SFWC WAS AN AFFILIATE OF THE HSUS UNTIL JULY 1, WHEN THE CENTER SEPARATED FROM THE HSUS AND BECAME AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY. THE HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION EIN #22-2768664 (HSVMA) PROMOTES VETERINARY LEADERSHIP IN ANIMAL ADVOCACY, PUBLIC EDUCATION AND DIRECT CARE FOR ANIMALS IN NEED.

GENERAL NOTE JOINT COST ALLOCATIONS For many years, HSUS has relied on direct mail, email, telephone and other means of solicitation to recruit, expand and maintain its membership. Direct marketing and other donor channels allow the HSUS to share specific details about recent accomplishments and to provide information about current campaigns and priorities to millions of supporters. The HSUS also uses postal mail -- and other channels -- to educate and to call the public to action to advance its mission and lifesaving work for animals. This is why, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidelines, the HSUS allocates a portion of its direct mail, email, phone and other communication costs to program services and to fundraising. Such costs are allocated to each major program, including - 1) Education and Engagement - The HSUS reaches tens of millions of people through its website and social media platforms, award-winning videos and magazines, training and educational conferences for animal advocates, national media coverage and more. 2) Public Policy and Enforcement - The HSUS seeks to strengthen legal protections for animals at the local, state and national levels. The HSUS defends their victories in court and trains thousands of law enforcement officers to investigate and prosecute animal cruelty. 3) Direct Care and Service - The HSUS and its affiliates provide hands-on care for more than 100,000 animals every year, including horses, companion animals and wildlife. The HSUS responds to major cruelty cases, saves animals from the dog meat trade, takes in wild exotics confiscated from irresponsible persons, provides relief to animals during disasters, rescues animals from animal fighting rings, arranges veterinary care and spay/neuter services for pets in underserved communities, and much more. 4) Corporate Policy - The HSUS works with the world's biggest food companies, cosmetics manufacturers, fashion brands, and other industry leaders to improve the treatment of animals in their sectors.
