M A X F U N D M I S S I O N The <strong>MaxFund</strong> is a non-profit organization established to provide medical care for injured pets with no known owners and to find new homes for these animals once they have recovered. Further, the <strong>MaxFund</strong> is committed to the following goals: Develop and implement education programs pertaining to animal care, with emphasis on the importance of spaying and neutering. Disseminate information on spay/neuter facilities, and, on a periodic basis, conduct a spay/neuter clinic for pets of low income families. Be a voice for the animals on issues of animal welfare. Cooperate with other animal facilities/shelters in accomplishing these goals. 2
Every year brings its challenges and <strong>2007</strong> certainly wasn’t any different. With the economy slowing down, it was more difficult to manage our funds and keep the programs going. A few of the programs held their own, while others slipped some. We are believers in what we do and will continue to do our part in saving the animals. We are grateful for the generous donations, grants, fundraisers, and estates we have received this year. We continue to be a safe haven for the animals and provide them with the best of care. Our largest events this year were: Lucky Mutt Strut $31,392.51 Puttin’ on the Max $41,810.35 BowWow Event $7,500.00 Paws and Ruffresh $14,000.00 Grants: $155,214.00 Memberships: $27,693.00 Memorials: $33,795.00 Pet Pals: $6133.00 Adoptions: $56,575.98 Our very caring donors are the base of <strong>MaxFund</strong>, we could not do it without them. Last year, <strong>2007</strong>, including estates were $597,900.00. We receive food from Purina on a regular basis and free kitty litter. Those wonderful Inkind donations make a huge difference in our budget. Our finances are steady in a struggling economy; our balance sheet does not reflect the $756,000 in in-kind donations or our shelter at 1025 Galapago. Our Wellness Clinic continues to grow and help many low-income people with their pets; we are your local shelter. The building at 1025 Galapago is in a holding company for safe keeping. It has been appraised at almost 1 million dollars. Our current assets are at $952,270.79, and with the building that brings our assets to almost $2 million. We have approximately 600 volunteers, which volunteered over 24,000 hours—volunteers, what would we do without them? They come and walk the dogs every day. They are so loyal, the dogs love it. We also have cat people that come and pet the cats daily. The volunteers do everything: events, cleaning, walking, office work, getting donations. Everything. Matt Adams is a volunteer and is also our volunteer coordinator. He has done a fabulous job.
