How funds are used
Vardric will use mission revenue to support rehabilitation, education, conservation projects, animal care, facility operations, community outreach, student development, and reasonable payroll for employees as the organization becomes sustainable.
Vardric will not treat revenue as owner profit or private distribution. Funds stay with the organization
and support the mission, programs, facilities, animal care, records, and staff needed to operate properly.
Rehabilitation

Case-based care, veterinary records, daily logs, incubation, field recovery, and release documentation.
Education
Community outreach
Programs that teach why reptiles matter and how to help wildlife correctly without causing harm.
Conservation
Long-term projects
Conservation projects, assurance colonies, student involvement, and future facility development.
Sustainability
People and operations
Responsible payroll, insurance, utilities, supplies, technology, and records needed to keep the mission moving.
