CharityWatch is unable to provide a range of Top Three Salaries for this charity for the above fiscal reporting year because we lack complete salary data for the organization. Except for officers, directors, and trustees, the IRS does not require breakouts of salaries totaling less than $100,000.
For example, XYZ charity would be required to provide a breakout in its tax form of compensation to its president of $55,000, but would not be required to provide a breakout of $99,000 in compensation to its top medical researcher if that person is not also an officer, director, or trustee of the organization.
This charity reports that compensation to its officers, directors, and trustees is under $100,000 per individual. Donors who would like to view limited salary data for this organization should refer to its tax form, which may be available on the charity's web site or from a number of third-party sources. See CharityWatch's Links page for information on obtaining copies of charity tax forms.

According to the Paws for Purple Hearts audit of December 31, 2020 (Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, COVID-19 Pandemic): "In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, which recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The outbreak and the response of governmental and public health organizations in dealing with the pandemic included restricting general activity levels within communities, the economy, and activities with our employees. While the Organization has experienced an impact to its business, operations, and financial results as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may have even more far-reaching impacts on many aspects of operations including the impact on business operations, employees, and the market in general. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Organization's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from management's current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and further spread of the outbreak, actions taken to contain the virus, as well as, how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume." |
