The Humane League follows Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures (GAAP) and uses an accrual accounting system. This means that revenue is recorded in the year that a grant is awarded, rather than when it is received, and therefore includes some large commitments for future donations as well as previous gifts with restrictions that have not been spent in full. Additionally, in accordance with financial best practices, The Humane League maintains a six month operating reserve. We feel this is essential to achieve sustained success, provide a buffer for unexpected expenses, and ensure that we are prepared for any change in financial climate. For questions about our past financial statements or current financial standing, please contact give@thehumaneleague.org.
