How we vet charity partners
GuideStar Platinum
Achieving a GuideStar Platinum rating signifies that an organization is committed to transparency and accountability, providing donors with critical information about its operations and impact.
State humane-society accreditation
Accreditation from state humane societies demonstrates adherence to high standards of animal care and welfare practices, ensuring donor funds support accredited programs and shelters.
Adoption-rate transparency
Evaluating adoption rates helps donors understand the effectiveness of a shelter's programs. Organizations that share this information demonstrate a commitment to improving outcomes for animals in their care.
Per-animal cost disclosure
Transparency in per-animal costs allows donors to see how their contributions are utilized, ensuring funds support effective programs that truly make a difference in the lives of animals.
What your donation funds
Your donation can significantly enhance the lives of animals in need. For example, the proceeds from the sale of a vehicle valued between $1,500 and $3,000 can directly support a trap-neuter-return program, helping to control the feral cat population in Mobile. This funding can cover essential veterinary services, including spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations, ensuring healthier communities for both animals and residents. Additionally, it can contribute to the maintenance of a no-kill shelter, providing food, medical care, and loving homes for countless rescued animals, creating a more compassionate community.
How we route proceeds
At Cruise Forward, we carefully vet our partner organizations to ensure they meet high standards for animal welfare and transparency. Before routing proceeds to any partners, we verify their IRS 501(c)(3) status and confirm their compliance with state regulations. This ensures that every donation goes to reputable organizations dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of animals in Mobile and surrounding areas.
