Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!
Eva Burrell Animal Shelter cannot currently be evaluated by our Accountability & Finance methodology due to only having one year of electronically-filed IRS Form 990 data (990EZ, 990N, 990PF does not qualify).
To ensure year-to-year consistency the Encompass Rating System's Accountability & Finance beacon analyzes the three-year average of some data provided through the IRS form 990.
Charity Navigator currently only has one year of consecutive e-filed Forms 990 from the IRS for Eva Burrell Animal Shelter under the EIN: 38-2331137.
Before Charity Navigator can evaluate Eva Burrell Animal Shelter, Eva Burrell Animal Shelter will need to e-file for additional fiscal years.

Culture & Community
Not Currently Scored
Eva Burrell Animal Shelter cannot currently be evaluated by our Culture & Community methodology because we have not received data from the charity regarding its Constituent Feedback.
Note: The absence of a score does not indicate a positive or negative assessment, it only indicates that we have not yet evaluated the organization.
This beacon provides an assessment of the organization's leadership capacity, strategic thinking and planning, and ability to innovate or respond to changes in constituent demand/need or other relevant social and economic conditions to achieve the organization's mission.
The nonprofit organization presents evidence of strategic thinking through articulating the organization's mission.
“The Eva Burrell Animal Shelter (EBAS) believes that it has the ability and power to effect change one animal at a time. It is our goal to be worthy of their lives, to be enriched by their presence, and not to miss the lessons they teach. We pledge to educate, to lead by example, to learn, to help when and where we can, to be diligent in our fundraising, and to be worthy of the trust placed in us.”
The Eva Burrell Animal Shelter (EBAS) is a Quality-of-Life Shelter, which does not put a time limit on the animals who find their way into our care. As long as they are healthy and adoptable, they will stay under the care of EBAS until a suitable adopter is found. Sometimes, we find long term foster care for those elderly and/or having specific health issues.
