What Berea's Animal Rescue Fund Inc does
Mission
Berea animal rescue fund, inc., ("arf") is a not-for-profit organization that shelters, rejuvenates and finds homes for stray animals that are brought to the shelter. Arf is committed to the health and well-being of stray animals for an unlimited period of time, as well as caring for and nurturing them until an appropriate match can be made into an adoptive home. Arf stands apart from many other shelters in that it places no time limit on length of stay, nor a cap on medical spending to bring the animals in our care back to health and vitality.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
2025 program accomplishments: angels for animals is a program berea arf established in 2006, which is a fund that allows us to finance the emergency and special medical needs of animals that arrive to us requiring special and emergency medical care. This fund allows us to care for these animals without interrupting daily shelter operations. Ounder the wing program allows people to access temporary foster care for their pets during times of crisis where the alternative would be surrendering. This program allows the person to heal from illness, transition into stable housing, or otherwise get back on their feet without the stress of worrying about their pet. This program helps keep pets with their humans and out of shelters. Othe prison foster program benefits human inmates, as well as our shelter dogs. After an inmate completes a dog training program, they are then placed with one of our shelter dogs. While in the inmates' care, the dogs complete behavioral training, which makes them highly sought after by potential adopters, and the inmate learns responsibility and has a sense of purpose while incarcerated. Berea arf partners with grafton correctional and lorain correctional.…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $2.0M to $2.7M (+37%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 7% · 2021 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
67% of BEREA'S ANIMAL RESCUE FUND INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
62% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund BEREA'S ANIMAL RESCUE FUND INC.
