Our Organization
Anthrocon is a Pennsylvania-incorporated 501(c)7 not-for-profit organization. The staff and volunteers who put on the event do so entirely on a volunteer basis, with the primary motivation being a mutual desire to foster the growth of the furry community. The organization is overseen by a Board of Directors, who help provide governance and direction on key functions and areas of the annual event.

Mission Statement
The sole purpose of the organization is to operate a yearly convention in order to bring together devotees of anthropomorphics from near and far, in a relaxed social atmosphere where fans of all ages may feel welcome.
As a not-for-profit group, Anthrocon is dedicated to keeping its cost of attendance to a minimum. Only those funds necessary to support the operation of the convention and to make preparations for the following year's convention are retained.
