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.
$37,035 total costs / 26,526 stray births averted = roughly $1.40 prevents a stray animal birth. [2021 USD]
Program Context
Fiona Animal Refuge Free Spay and Neuter Program: This program provides low-cost sterilizations to animals that otherwise give birth to stray offspring.
Data Time Period
1/1/22 to 12/31/22
Benchmark for Scoring
Impact scores of spay and neuter programs are based on the cost a household spends on lifesaving care for a pet. Programs receive an Impact score of 100 if they are less than 75% of the cost and a score of 80 if they are less than 125%. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet the benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 65. This program fixes an animal for less than 75% of the cost a household spends on lifesaving care for a pet.
Methodology
This impact score was determined through the Low-Cost Spay & Neuter Clinic methodology which is fully detailed in the Charity Navigator Guide to Ratings. Analysis conducted in 2023 by Charity Navigator using data submitted by the nonprofit, theory and evidence from scientific research studies, and public datasets.
