Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

President
Colette Junod
I am a passionate long time social worker who has learned that my greatest passion in life is to take what I have learned in my carrier and use the same skills to work in the animal rescue world. I have a team of incredible volunteers with many collective years of rescue experience and we are excited about helping animals with our foster based rescue, but also think it is critical to address issues that effect animals and their care at a grassroots level through advocacy and community connections.
