My Nonprofit Reviews

Twice in two years, 2012 and 2014, I've made donations to Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida in memory of friends Labs that had died. In both instances the donations were not acknowledged in a timely manner to either the dog owner nor myself. Both times, after a month, I emailed and requested the donations be acknowledged but nothing happened. I sent a second follow up emails in both instances and still no response.

Since I made these donations from my Charitable Gift Fund I don't need an acknowledgement for the IRS. That said, it would have been nice for the Lab owner to receive an acknowledgement when they were still grieving the loss of their dog.

While I can't speak how well this organization fulfills its mission, I expect there are other Labrador Retriever rescues that recognize the value of acknowledging donations in a timely manner.
