CARE is a 501C-3 non profit, meaning all funds are required by law to go into a CARE bank account. This is used to pay expenses for CARE. There is no “owner” of CARE – it is operated by a board of directors who are not paid to operate CARE or be on the board. Board members could be paid if they provide a service for CARE but only an amount that is reasonable for that service. For instance, Dr. Jordan boards the CARE horses at her house and she provides fencing, fertilizer, grass hay, and water which she is paid for (at a rate much below the standard cost of boarding a horse). Board members do not profit from being on the board or being involved with the rescue – it is done as a service to help the animals we care for.
