The Cost of Saving Lives.

Minnesota Charities Review Council's Standards of Accountability state that at least 70% of an organization's annual expenses must be directed toward program activity with no more than 30% for management, general, and fundraising expenses combined.  The Rescue Crew has exceeded this standard each year of our existence.  Below illustrates what percent of our expenses, each year, have been directed back to programs and services that specifically benefit the animals.
