Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Raptor Rehabilitation

SOAR currently provides care for over 300 birds per year (over 350 in 2020) that have been injured or orphaned, primarily from western Iowa. Most injuries are the result of human activities: collisions with cars, windows, power lines, fences, mowers, and effects from pesticides and other toxins. Other injuries occur from storm damage causing nests to fall or birds to be blown into immovable objects.
Upon admission, birds are examined for major injuries, eyesight is evaluated, feathers checked for damage and parasites, re-hydrated and offered food appropriate to level of starvation, and placed in our intensive care area for further evaluation.

Population(s) Served

Adults

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.
