We review the charity's most recent IRS Form 990 to see if the charity has reported any diversion of assets.

Impact & Measurement
Score
100
This beacon estimates the actual impact a charity has on the lives of those it serves, and determines whether it is making good use of donor resources to achieve that impact.
$271,660 total costs / 685 rescues = roughly $400 rescues one animal [2021 USD]
Program Context
The program rescues animals that would have otherwise been killed or left in some other bad condition. These animals are taken in and sheltered.
Data Time Period
7/1/21 to 6/30/22
Benchmark for Scoring
Impact scores of animal shelters are based on the average cost a household spends on lifesaving care for their pet. Programs operating at 75% of this cost or less receive a score of 100, while those below 125% receive 80. Nonprofits failing to meet these benchmarks earn a score of 65. The program shelters an animal for less than 75% of the cost of lifesaving care.
Methodology
This impact score was determined through the Animal Shelter methodology which is fully detailed in the Charity Navigator Guide to Ratings. Analysis conducted in 2024 by Charity Navigator using publicly available data, theory and evidence from scientific research studies, and public datasets.
Data Source
Data were collected from publicly available sources.

The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
This has been a year of change for the Northeast Missouri Humane Society. We have been striving to get more visible through our social media outlets, news agencies and speaking to other organizations and non-profits. We want to be able to share our programs with the community and work together to show that the Humane Society is an animal shelter and not an animal pound. We are reaching out and helping the public keep their pets and not have to surrender them because they do not think that they have the means to take care of them. We are striving to show our community that we are there to help.
