Our Structure & Operations
DASF is a Texas nonprofit corporation with a governing Board of Directors accountable for all foundation activities. An independent CPA is maintained along with a Registered Agent/Corporate Attorney. DASF is also an approved IRS 501(c)3 public charity exempt from Federal tax. Donations to DASF are considered exempt from Federal tax under the IRS code.
DASF does not receive any Federal, State, County, or City funding. Operating funds are only acquired through private donations, grants, planned giving, and fundraising events/solicitations. The foundation is a partner with the City of Denton under a legal agreement to aid the Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center as requested and provided the DASF Board approves the funding.
The foundation is majority-comprised of volunteers with limited staff members. DASF is NOT located at the shelter and is an entirely separate entity from the Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center.
DASF does NOT own or operate an animal shelter and does not directly handle pets. The foundation is primarily a fundraising entity that provides grants to shelters and local community pet initiatives. In addition, DASF provides pet wellness, welfare, and medical assistance in the community.
