| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Build a stronger animal protection movement (continued) |
Continued from Part III, Line 4a Access to care: Pets for Life is an HSUS support program for pets and their owners living in underserved communities. Driven by social justice principles and guided by the philosophy that people's deep connection with their pets transcends boundaries of socioeconomics, race, ethnicity and geography, PFL exists to tackle the systemic inequity and institutional barriers faced by millions of people in obtaining care, resources and support for their pets. In 2021, PFL helped nearly 27,000 animals. * In two HSUS-staffed communities, 5,925 animals were served, and 15,122 no-cost health services were provided. * In 39 mentorship/supported communities, 20,973 animals received help and 72,239 veterinary services were provided. * 4.8 million pounds of food and 1,340 pallets of pet supplies were distributed, with a combined value of $8.4 million. * 1,691 professionals, including veterinarians, veterinary technicians and staff at animal shelters, animal services and animal care and control agencies, were trained. * Volunteers logged 1,968 hours. Strengthening the capacity of animal shelters: * In 2021, the Shelter and Rescue Partner program grew to 399 organizations, surpassing the goal of 380. The HSUS placed 429 animals in need with these partners, including animals rescued from South Korea's dog meat trade, dogfighting operations, farm animal cruelty, puppy mills and a large-scale neglect case. * As part of the Shelter Ally Project, the HSUS completed the first capacity-building mentorship pilot, which involves grants and support for animal shelters in under-resourced areas of the U.S. where the safety net for animals needs strengthening. * The HSUS produced the second all-virtual Animal Care Expo-aimed at sharing best practices in sheltering- featuring 40 educational sessions, networking opportunities and a virtual exhibit hall that more than 3,500 humane professionals and volunteers "attended." * The Shelter Pet Project-a collaborative effort between the Humane Society of the United States, Maddie's Fund, and The Ad Council to promote shelter adoptions through public service announcements- received $14.4 million worth of donated media in 2021. Since the program's inception in 2009, it has generated $568 million in donated media. Establishing and strengthening legal protections for all animals: * The HSUS advocated for inclusion of an amendment to the INVEST in America Act to ban the transport of American horses to slaughter-domestically or abroad.The amendment, which passed the House of Representatives, was stripped out of the final bill, but the House win was historic and bodes well for its future chances. * In a win for the HSUS campaign to end horse soring, the USDA announced that strengthening the Horse Protection Act to crack down on this barbaric practice is now a top regulatory priority. * The HSUS helped 164 new animal protection measures become law at the state (75) and local (89) level, including 10 new laws requiring shelter for outdoor dogs, 11 measures related to captive wildlife and 15 laws to prevent breed-specific legislation. * The HSUS helped defeat dozens of harmful proposed state measures, including 34 bills that would have directly impacted the efforts to end the cruelest practices toward animals. * The HSUS trained more than 8,400 animal advocates and law enforcement officials on animal protection issues. Promoting peaceful co-existence: * Wild Neighbors, an HSUS program launched in 2016 to help communities humanely handle wildlife conflicts, trained 2,826 animal care professionals and law enforcement officers from 1,143 different agencies/organizations. The comprehensive training includes how to respond to public concerns and complaints and species-specific approaches to conflict resolution. * In 2021, 138 animal care and control agencies and organizations signed the HSUS Wild Neighbors pledge,bringing the total to 433 agencies that have made a commitment to use nonlethal approaches to solving human-wildlife conflicts. |

CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4C A LARGE PORTION OF THE HSUS'S WORK ON CARING FOR ANIMALS COMES VIA SUCH AFFILIATED ENTITIES AS THE FUND FOR ANIMALS AND HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, WHICH, TOGETHER, CARE FOR, RESCUE, REHABILITATE, AND PROTECT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS YEARLY. FOR FURTHER DETAILS, SEE ENTRIES CONCERNING THE FUND FOR ANIMALS AND HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL ON SCHEDULE O; THE FUND FOR ANIMALS 2021 FORM 990; AND THE HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL 2021 FORM 990. THE HSUS GRANTS FUNDS TO THESE AFFILIATES TO HELP SUPPORT THESE ANIMAL CARE ACTIVITIES AND THEIR OPERATIONS. * The HSUS deployed to Kentucky to assist the Mayfield-Graves County animal shelter with search and rescue and shelter operations after devastating tornadoes. The HSUS remained on the scene to help reunite lost pets with their families, distribute resources to displaced pet owners and transport surrendered animals to shelter partners for adoption. * The animal rescue team helped law enforcement in Gaston County, North Carolina rescue seven dogs from a suspected dogfighting operation, after which the HSUS brought the dogs to safety and ensured they received care and treatment while a court determined custody. In Detroit, the animal crimes team worked with informants and the Wayne County prosecutor's office on an undercover dogfighting investigation that led to the rescue of 108 dogs from 23 properties. * The HSUS helped the South Florida SPCA and local law enforcement rescue a herd of starving cows in Sunrise, Florida, arranging transport, securing temporary housing and providing a grant to help care for the animals until they found a home at a sanctuary in Gainesville, Florida. * The HSUS provided financial support and placement assistance to an animal shelter in Erie, Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania State Police in a neglect case involving 179 rabbits and several other animals, including chickens and chinchillas. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b End the cruelest practices (CONTINUED) |
CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4B (1 of 2) Stop puppy mills: * With support from the HSUS, Washington state, Illinois and 30 more localities enacted measures against pet store sales of puppy mill puppies. * An HSUS undercover investigation exposed sick and suffering puppies at one of the largest pet stores in New York City, American Kennels. After the HSUS released a report, which was widely covered in the media, authorities stepped in to investigate, the store closed its doors and efforts to pass a ban on pet store puppy sales in New York state gained new momentum. * In a case that HSUS attorneys assisted with, Puppyfind.com agreed to pay $120,000 to complainants who purchased sick and dying puppies from its platform and will stop removing negative reviews from its website. The online retailer also agreed to remove breeders convicted of animal cruelty. * Five breeders cited in the annual Horrible Hundred report-in which the HSUS publicly named the owners of puppy mills where dogs are suffering-were shut down by authorities and a sixth went out of business in 2021. * The HSUS passed the 45,000-mark in the number of dogs adopted through the Puppy Friendly Pet Stores program, which helps pet stores transition from selling puppies to helping shelter dogs find adoptive homes. End the use of fur in fashion: * The work of HSUS with Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Valentino and Tory Burch led them to drop fur from their production lines. * Following outreach and engagement by the HSUS, luxury retailers Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus joined the movement away from cruelty by announcing fur-free policies. * ELLE International became the latest global brand to ban content that promotes animal fur on its pages, websites and social media-a decision that impacts 45 global editions and 46 websites with a combined reach of 175 million readers each month. * The HSUS helped pass four more local measures banning fur sales: in Hallandale Beach, Florida; Brookline, Massachusetts; Weston, Massachusetts; and Ann Arbor, Michigan. * A federal judge dismissed the fur industry's challenge to San Francisco's ban on fur sales in a landmark case that affirmed the right of cities and states to prohibit the sale of fur products. The HSUS contributed a legal opinion in the matter. * Our work to pass fur sales bans and success at persuading companies to go fur-free has reduced the demand for fur products: 2021 was the worst year on record for the U.S. mink fur trade, which suffered a nearly 50% drop in production over 2020. End animal cosmetic testing and trade: * Five states - Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia - banned the sale of animal-tested cosmetics. * We marshalled crucial industry support for the Humane Cosmetics Act, a federal bill to end the use of animals in cosmetics testing. End the use of veal crates, gestation crates and cages for egg-laying hens: * The HSUS's state-by-state campaign to eliminate battery cages for egg-laying hens continued to succeed: the HSUS won victories in Utah and Nevada, banning the confinement of egg-laying hens and mandating cage-free conditions. In Nevada, the HSUS also helped pass a ban on the sale of eggs from caged hens. * The HSUS successfully waged and won a campaign in Massachusetts to upgrade the law that the HSUS helped pass via ballot measure in 2016. The updated law ensures cage-free conditions for hens, bans the sale of eggs from caged hens and mandates enrichments critical for the welfare of the birds. The sales component of the law, which now covers egg products, protects an additional 2 million egg-laying hens each year. * The HSUS legal team helped defeat multiple legal challenges by the meat industry to California's Proposition 12 farm animal welfare law, the ballot measure that the HSUS led to passage in 2018: the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the North American Meat Institute's lawsuit; the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled against the National Pork Producers Council and the American Farm Bureau Federation; and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowarejected a complaint brought by the Iowa Pork Producers Association and three individual pork producers. * The HSUS worked with Conagra Foods, an $8 billion packaged foods company, to win its commitment to reach 100% cage-free egg usage one year earlier than planned. * The HSUS persuaded Denny's, which has more than 1,700 locations, to establish annual milestones that will ensure it is only using cage-free eggs at all its restaurants by 2026. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b END THE CRUELEST PRACTICES (CONTINUED) |
CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4B (2 of 2) End trophy hunting: * After a campaign led by the HSUS and allies, the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission voted to indefinitely suspend the annual spring bear hunting season, sparing the lives of hundreds of bears. * A judge in Wisconsin referenced HSUS legal research and arguments when issuing a temporary injunction halting the state's planned fall 2021 wolf hunt. * The HSUS successfully led a campaign in Maryland to pass a statewide ban on wildlife killing contests. The HSUS also laid the groundwork for more state bans by helping pass 28 municipal resolutions calling for statewide action. * The HSUS helped defeat proposed or expanded hunts that would have targeted black bears, mountain lions or wolves in six states: Connecticut, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Maine, New Jersey and Colorado. * With HSUS support, Illinois expanded its Ivory Ban Actto outlaw trade in products made from 16 more species, including cheetahs, tigers, lions, pangolins, whales, giraffes and sea turtles. * As a result of an HSUS lawsuit, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can no longer keep data about the type and number of trophies hunters import-a key tool for determining which species are under threat-from the public. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 2 New program services |
In 2018 the HSUS started a Strategic Planning process to align the mission and the vision of the organization with the strategy; that work continued into 2019 and was implemented in 2020 and the data to capture reporting based on the strategy began in 2021. As part of the Strategic Planning process, four Pillars, representing the four main bodies of work for the HSUS, were created (End the cruelest industries and practices, Care for animals in crisis, Build a Stronger Animal Protection Movement, and Increase Capacity to Drive Global Change). The first three pillars represent the three main programs of the HSUS and reported in the Form 990 for the Organization. In 2021, the Strategic Plan and priority initiatives will allow the fundraising teams to focus on marketing the big fights rather than many small one-off projects and better grow the revenue base for the organization. There will be more focused effort on priority projects enabling faster movement and more impact on animals. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy |
The HSUS's Conflict of Interest Policy applies to all directors, officers, and employees of the HSUS. The policy is incorporated in the HSUS's Employee Handbook, which all employees (including officers) receive upon joining the organization, and the Board Manual, which all directors receive upon joining the board. The policy is also covered in orientation sessions for new board directors. Additionally, a questionnaire is distributed to directors, officers, and key employees on an annual basis in order to ascertain the presence of any conflicts and enable the organization to answer Part VI, Lines 1b and 2. The questionnaires are completed, signed, and returned to the Corporate Secretary, who notifies the General Counsel of any concerns. A committee of the board of directors--the Governance Committee--is charged with considering conflicts of interest involving directors and officers. Individuals having possible conflicts of interest cannot vote, participate in committee deliberations on the subject, or be counted toward meeting a quorum (they may answer questions). Conflicts of interest involving non-officer employees are reviewed by the General Counsel. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official |
A committee of the board of directors, the Human Resources Committee ("HR Committee"), is charged with annually leading the compensation determination process for the President/CEO. The HR Committee makes a recommendation to the board of directors about the President/CEO's job performance and compensation, each of which must be approved by the full board. In accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of Treas. Reg. 53.4958-6, the process of determining the President/CEO's compensation involves attention to and avoidance of conflicts of interest, use of comparability data, and contemporaneous documentation of the meetings, deliberations, and decisions. This process, which is completed annually, was undertaken for the tax year in May 2021. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees |

The board's HR Committee reviews the performance reviews of Executive Management and other Disqualified Persons, as well as the President/CEO's recommended compensation for such individuals. The HR Committee then recommends the appropriate compensation to the full board for approval. In accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of Treas. Reg. 53.4958-6, the board process for determining compensation for the HSUS's Executive Management and Disqualified Persons involves attention to and avoidance of conflicts of interest, use of comparability data, and contemporaneous documentation of the meetings, deliberations, and decisions.

| 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) End the cruelest practices - The HSUS is focused on ending the worst forms of institutionalized animal suffering - puppy mills, fur farms, trophy hunting, extreme confinement of farm animals, the use of animals in cosmetics tests and the dog meat trade. The progress is the result of the work with governments, the private sector and multinational bodies; public awareness and consumer education campaigns; public policy efforts and more. 2) Care for animals in crisis - The HSUS responds to large-scale cruelty cases and disasters around the world, providing rescue, hands-on care, logistics and expertise when animals are caught in crises. The HSUS's care centers heal and provide lifelong sanctuary to abused, abandoned, exploited vulnerable and neglected animals. 3) Build a stronger animal protection movement - Through partnerships, trainings, support, collaboration and more, the HSUS is building a more humane world by empowering and expanding the capacity of animal welfare advocates and organizations in the United States and across the globe. Together, faster change will be brought about for animals. |
