1 Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter 2013 Annual Report Official FFCAS Mascot Eddie Dear Friends: The Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter (FFCAS) is pleased to present its 2013 Annual Report. FFCAS experienced phenomenal growth in 2013, giving us the ability to provide even greater resources in our mission to support the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. Below are some of the highlights from Due to the large revenue increase we experienced in 2013, FFCAS financial statements are subject to an audit in order to participate in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Consequently, FFCAS engaged CPA firm Burdette Smith & Bish LLC to perform an audit of its 2013 financial statements. The audited financial statements and footnotes are attached as part of this Annual Report. Looking forward, the year 2014 brings many exciting developments, including the official opening of the beautiful new animal shelter facility and launch of the microchip program for cats. FFCAS is funding the microchips for the first year, and we re happy to report that similar to dogs, all cats adopted from the shelter now go to their new homes with a microchip. FFCAS also developed the Shelter Pet Sponsorship program in 2014, which gives businesses and individuals the opportunity to sponsor a portion of adoption fees and/or provide a gift certificate for pet-related services to a specific animal s adopters; this has proven to be a very popular program. We re extremely grateful to all of our supporters as we continue our efforts to ensure homeless animals in Fairfax County receive needed care, and to improve their chances of finding their forever homes. We couldn t do it without you!

2 2013 Financial Summary Revenue: In 2013, FFCAS net revenue increased substantially to $213,441, primarily due to a large bequest from a single donor. Greater fundraising efforts and an expanding donor base also contributed to the upward trend. Absent the large single donation, we expect our 2014 revenue to increase significantly as the result of broadened fundraising activities and greater utilization of social media tools. Expenses: As an all-volunteer organization, FFCAS administrative and fundraising expenses are kept to a minimum.
