ALLOWED FOR THE PAYMENT OF FUNDRAISING EXPENSES (SUCH AS PRINTING, PAPER, POSTAGE, ENVELOPES AND MAILING LIST RENTAL) IN ADDITION TO THE PAYMENT OF FEES FOR PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING SERVICES. TARGET MARKETEAM, INC. PROVIDES DETAILS WHICH ALLOW THE HSUS TO IDENTIFY WHICH COSTS ARE FOR PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING AND WHICH COSTS ARE RELATED TO GENERAL FUNDRAISING EXPENSES. THE HSUS PAID OUT $2,999,096 to TARGET MARKETEAM, INC. FOR FUNDRAISING EXPENSES. IN ADDITION TO THE ORGANIZATIONS WHICH APPEAR ON SCHEDULE G, PART I, THE HSUS DID ENTER INTO ARRANGEMENTS WITH FOUR FUNDRAISING VENDORS WHERE THE ORGANIZATION MADE PAYMENTS EXCLUSIVELY FOR FUNDRAISING EXPENSES BUT NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING SERVICES. THESE VENDORS HANDLE TASKS SUCH AS THE COMPILATION OF MAILING LISTS, PRINTING, DATA PROCESSING SERVICES, AND MAILING OF DIRECT MAIL PIECES, BUT THEY DO NOT ASSIST WITH THE CREATION OR PREPARATION OF THE DIRECT MAIL LETTERS, NOR ARE THEY INVOLVED IN ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING ACTIVITY. Schedule G, Part I GENERAL EXPLANATION: THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (HSUS) AND ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES RELY ON A SUBSTANTIAL AND LONGSTANDING PROGRAM OF DIRECT MAIL FUNDRAISING TO SUPPORT THE FULL RANGE OF ACTIVITIES THEY UNDERTAKE ON BEHALF OF ANIMALS, WHETHER IT INVOLVES HANDS-ON CARE, POLICY WORK, SCIENTIFIC OR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, HUMANE EDUCATION, LITIGATION, PUBLICATION, OR COMMUNICATION. DIRECT MAIL HAS PLAYED A FUNDAMENTAL ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HSUS AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND IT REMAINS CRUCIAL TO THE ORGANIZATIONS' SUCCESS IN HELPING ANIMALS. AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL THAT DESCRIBES THE ORGANIZATIONS' NUMEROUS PROGRAMS AND CAMPAIGNS TO HELP ANIMALS, DIRECT MAIL FUNDRAISING HELPS TO CREATE GREATER AWARENESS OF THE ORGANIZATIONS' CAMPAIGNS AND CONCERNS, AND HAS ALLOWED US TO BUILD A CONSTITUENCY OF SUPPORTERS UNMATCHED IN THE HUMANE FIELD, WITH TREMENDOUS SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND PRACTICAL BENEFITS TO THE ORGANIZATIONS' WORK. TO COMPLEMENT DIRECT MAIL, THE HSUS RELIES ON LARGER INDIVIDUAL GIFTS SOLICITED BY REGIONAL FUNDRAISERS, PLANNED GIVING, FACE TO FACE GIVING, AUTO DONATIONS, FOUNDATION GRANTS, TELEPHONE SOLICITATION, WORKPLACE GIVING, ONLINE SOLICITATION AND BEQUESTS. TOGETHER, THESE METHODS FORM THE BASIS OF A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO SECURING THE FUNDS AND THE CONSTITUENCY NECESSARY TO MEET OUR URGENT AND LONG TERM ANIMAL WELFARE GOALS. Schedule G, Part I, Line 2b(vi) General explanation: HSUS has retained Givebridge and Green Planet Sales Company, Inc., to manage face to face appeals and contacts for the charity. The face to face program run by these vendors was initiated during 2017. The program is expected to allow HSUS to grow its donor base each year and to provide HSUS with an increased cash flow over time. It should also be pointed out that donations from supporters contacted in prior years via the face to face program are not included in the gross receipts totals for these vendors on the current year return. For this reason HSUS expects the amount paid to these two vendors to exceed gross receipts from these face to face campaigns on the current year 990, Schedule G, Part I. Schedule G, Part I, Line 2b(iv) General explanation: Chapman, Cubine and Hussey, Inc. (CCAH) began working with the Humane Society of the United States during the fourth quarter of 2019. However the specific fundraising campaigns CCAH worked on took place during 2020. Therefore no 2019 revenues were received as a result of the services provided by CCAH. true Allegany County Society For Prevention of Cruelty To Animals 1374 STATE ROUTE 19 WELLSVILLE NY 14895 237379932 501 (c)(3) 5000 Veterinary Care for a large number of rescued animals Alliance For Contraception In Cats & Dogs 11145 NW Old Cornelius Pass Road Portland OR 97231 412185841 501 (c)(3) 25000 Fund research into non-surgical contraception methods for cats and dogs Altus Animal Welfare Association 3100 Garrison Rd Altus OK 73521 811137820 501 (c)(3) 71500 FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH TRAINING, FREE WELLNESS AND SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES Animal Shelter of Wood River Valley 100 Croy Creek Road Hailey ID 83333 820351171 501 (c)(3) 179377 FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH TRAINING, FREE WELLNESS AND SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES Assisi Animal Clinics of Virginia Inc 819 Walhalla Court Roanoke VA 24016 542021941 501 (c)(3) 8950 Shelter and medical care for rescued animals.

THEY ALSO TREAT AND PLACE DOMESTIC, EXOTIC AND FARM ANIMALS IN NEED; AND TEACH THE PUBLIC ABOUT LIVING ALONGSIDE OUR WILD NEIGHBORS. THE HUMANE SOCIETY VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION EIN #22-2768664 (HSVMA) PROMOTES VETERINARY LEADERSHIP IN ANIMAL ADVOCACY, PUBLIC EDUCATION AND DIRECT CARE TO AID ANIMALS IN NEED. HSVMA'S MAIN PROGRAM AREAS INCLUDE COMMUNICATION, EDUCATIONAL, LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY EFFORTS TO PROMOTE ANIMAL WELFARE, CONTINUING EDUCATION EVENTS FOCUSING ON ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES, AND ADVOCATING FOR HUMANE ALTERNATIVES IN VETERINARY EDUCATION. PROJECT CHIMPS (EIN # 47-1439557) IS A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED BY THE HSUS. THE ORGANIZATION WAS FOUNDED IN 2014 TO ESTABLISH A SANCTUARY TO PROVIDE LIFETIME CARE FOR FORMER RESEARCH CHIMPANZEES. PROJECT CHIMPS HAS ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA'S NEW IBERIA RESEARCH CENTER TO, OVER TIME, RELOCATE THE CENTER'S PRIVATELY-OWNED CHIMPANZEE POPULATION, PREVIOUSLY USED FOR RESEARCH, TO PERMANENT HOUSING IN A SANCTUARY SETTING. GENERAL NOTE JOINT COST ALLOCATIONS For many years, HSUS has relied on direct mail, email, telephone and other means of solicitation to recruit, expand and maintain its membership. Direct marketing and other donor channels allow the HSUS to share specific details about recent accomplishments and to provide information about current campaigns and priorities to millions of supporters. The HSUS also uses postal mail -- and other channels -- to educate and to call the public to action to advance its mission and lifesaving work for animals. This is why, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidelines, the HSUS allocates a portion of its direct mail, email, phone and other communication costs to program services and to fundraising. Such costs are allocated to each major program, including - 1) Education and Engagement -- The HSUS reaches tens of millions of people through its website and social media platforms, award-winning videos and magazines, training and educational conferences for animal advocates, national media coverage and more. 2) Public Policy and Enforcement - The HSUS seeks to strengthen legal protections for animals at the local, state and national levels. We defend our victories in court and train thousands of law enforcement officers to investigate and prosecute animal cruelty. 3) Direct Care and Service - The HSUS and its affiliates provide hands-on care for more than 100,000 animals every year, including horses, companion animals and wildlife. We respond to major cruelty cases, save animals from the dog meat trade, take in wild exotics confiscated from irresponsible persons, provide relief to animals during disasters, rescue animals from animal fighting rings, arrange veterinary care and spay/neuter services for pets in underserved communities and much more. 4) Corporate Policy -- We work with the world's biggest food companies, cosmetics manufacturers, fashion brands, and other industry leaders to improve the treatment of animals in their sectors.
