The Organization made grants in 2023 to El Refugio Hogar Animal Costa Ballena (El Refugio), a nonprofit, volunteer-run animal rescue organization in a rural area of Costa Rica. The funds were used in a manner consistent with the Organization's stated purposes, and expenditure responsibility protocols were followed. El Refugio made a significant impact on the pet overpopulation problem in its area, including accomplishing the following: 133 adoptions of dogs and cats, spay and neutering of 780 animals, and 235 animals receiving care through its community outreach program. Several additional small grants were made to other, similar organizations in the area. 39830 X 0 0 Sheila Wentzel President, Director 1 0 0 0 Richard M Simon Vice President, Director 5 0 0 0 Millie Louisa Plowman Secretary 1 0 0 0 Nikki Wall Treasurer, Director 1 0 0 0 Dr Kathryn W Wander Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Richard M Simon 1413 Armstrong Drive Longmont CO 80504 7813838335 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 25396 50415 51697 61042 83726 272276 25396 50415 51697 61042 83726 272276 23665 23665 0 0 0 0 23665 23665 248611 25396 50415 51697 61042 83726 272276 0.91308 1 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Various grants to domestic animal rescue organizations in the Costa Ballena area of Costa Rica, primarily to support programs of population control (spay and neuter clinics), community outreach and education.
