At Oklahoma Westie Rescue, we strongly believe in being open and honest with our donors and adopters regarding how our money is received and exactly how that money is spent. Below are the links to our financial information, and our tax-exempt certifications can be found here: 2004 and 2014. If, at any time, you have any questions concerning how our funds are expended or received, or you would like copies of our income tax filings, please feel free to contact us.
As an all-volunteer organization, we have very few administrative expenses and no salaries that need funding. Only a tiny percentage of all costs do not relate directly to the dogs' needs. These expenses include accountant's fees for tax filings, paper, postage, advertising, etc. These fees are always paid from the income generated from our adoptions or volunteer pockets - never from publicly donated funds. ALL donated funds are used only to pay direct dog need costs - primarily veterinary care, medications, and food (although the food is often paid from our foster parents' pockets).
