We’ve since grown into one of the leading international organizations protecting animals around the globe. Now supported by more than 1.2 million people, we work passionately to save animals in crisis. We protect dogs and cats from cruelty, elephants and other wildlife threatened by poaching and disasters, and whales and seals in danger from inhumane hunts. Our approach over the years has been as varied as the species we protect, but our mission has remained constant and simple: to create a better world for animals. 4 Compassion in Action A letter from our CEO and Board Chair

3 Compassion in Action

This year, as IFAW marks its 40th anniversary, we pay tribute to the remarkable commitment of our supporters, who have made possible our work to protect animals and promote a more compassionate world.

Despite challenging economic times, we can all be proud of the victories we are achieving for animals in crisis around the world. In the past year, we rescued thousands of animals in peril from bushfires, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and other disasters. We moved an entire herd of elephants out of harm’s way in Malawi, made the world’s oceans safer for whales, and helped to stem the trade in wildlife that is devastating species from Asia to Africa.

In our founding campaign to save seals from commercial hunting, we achieved a historic trade ban in the European Union and a new ban on hunting newborn seal pups in Russia. These victories will save hundreds of thousands of harp seals on the ice floes of Eastern Canada and in the White Sea.

We rescued penguin chicks, orphaned bears, elephant calves, young rhinos, snow leopard cubs, and many other animals, and gave them a second chance for life in the wild. In some of the world’s neediest communities, our vets provided hands-on care for some 50,000 cats and dogs at risk of cruelty and neglect.

We applaud you, our supporters, for these successes. We take our role as stewards of your funds very seriously and we are committed to accountability in all that we do to safeguard animals worldwide.

Thank you for your steadfast support,

Frederick M. O’Regan Thomas C. Ramey President and Chief Executive Officer Chair, IFAW Board of Directors

We’re close to ending the annual slaughter of baby harp seals once and for all. At least 30 countries now ban the sale of seal products. Markets for seal fur are collapsing around the world. In 2009, some 200,000 seal pups were spared a

18 Our best hope Children are the key to a better future for animals. IFAW’s education programs empower young people and their communities to take positive action for animals. These programs address the root causes of many pressing animal welfare and conservation challenges.

Our shared world We help local communities in Africa learn to live in harmony with the animals who share our habitat. We teach children, like this young girl in Northern Canada, to care for their pets. Aboard IFAW’s floating classrooms, children in coastal communities learn to respect and appreciate whales and other endangered marine wildlife. 

In addition to support from 1.2 million individual donors, IFAW received wide support from corporate and commercial 2006 partnerships, particularly providing donations of goods and services which made a critical difference in a resource constrained environment. Program percentages stayed high, and IFAW maintained its performance standards as one of the 250 Better Business Bureau gold seal recipients in the US and as a registered charity in good standing with 2007 the Charities Commission in the UK.

2008

2009

In fiscal year 2007, IFAW received a one-time bequest of $10 million, which creates the impression of a larger difference in revenues between fiscal years 2007 and 2008 than actually occurred. Adjusted for that very special gift, revenue was essentially flat. In fiscal year 2009, the downturn was strategic. The organization made significant cuts in fundraising expenses that yielded reductions in fundraising income but the expense cuts were greater than the revenue decline. IFAW has managed reserve funds effectively and is prepared in “down” years to use portions of these funds strategically for animals. 22 It’s not our money That’s the way we look at it. It’s given to us generously and freely by retired nurses in the United Kingdom, by engineers in Germany, and by college students in the United States.

Greater good The money comes with a promise When disasters strike or animals are in peril, our rescue teams rush in to provide hands-on relief and an obligation. We put your for animals. The Animal Rescue Site springs into action as well, raising the funds we need to help compassion into action helping where animals need us most. “By partnering with as many animals as possible. IFAW, we give our online shoppers a simple but meaningful way to contribute directly to work that alleviates animal suffering,” said Animal Rescue Site founder Greg Hesterberg.

The Animal Rescue Site, through its charity partner, GreaterGood.org, has helped us save animals in the wake of bushfires in Australia, earthquakes in China, and floods in the US. They support hands-on care for orphan bears in Russia and elephants in India. They also fund veterinary care for cats and dogs in impoverished settlements in Johannesburg, South Africa, back our work to safeguard African wildlife, and rescue stranded whales on Cape Cod. ©IFAW/A.

Every year, Canada’s Gulf of St. Lawrence hosts one of nature’s most wonderful spectacles. As the gulf freezes over, hundreds of thousands of Harp seals migrate to the ice to give birth. By early spring, litters of snowy white seal pups loll on the ice, trilling softly. The seals are surrounded by a pristine landscape, where sunlight, water, and ice combine to produce the deepest, richest aquamarine blue found anywhere on earth. We’ve made it the color of our logo because it symbolizes all that we are fighting to protect. © IFAW/S. Cook © IFAW/S.
