Stated purpose: Varanasi for Animals is an exclusive initiative of Help Animals India where we are trying to keep balance and support the community dogs, control rabies on the Ghats and also support the tourist's community in their animal welfare activities. Varanasi Municipal Corporation is very insensitive towards the dogs in the city and often have complaints about not running properly sterilization program or help injured animals. Total sterilization count over 3000. Rescued animals are treated and successfully released back in the community. Dozens of camps with our Mobile Veterinary Clinic and helped many community members receive the spay/neuter service at their doorstep. This funding has strengthened our ability to provide humane and sustainable solutions to animal overpopulation and suffering. achievements would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our team, as well as the generosity and support of our donors, volunteers, and partners. · In 2025, the Kalimpong Animal Shelter, a sister branch of the Darjeeling Goodwill Animal Shelter Trust, significantly expanded its efforts to improve street dog welfare with support from Help Animals India, successfully exceeding its goal of sterilising 300 dogs by reaching 355 (292 females and 63 males) and vaccinating 600 against rabies, demonstrating that sterilisation combined with anti-rabies vaccination is a scientifically proven, humane solution for controlling populations and protecting public health; through this programme, dogs experienced improved health and protection from diseases like transmissible venereal tumour, while communities benefited from reduced overpopulation, fewer unwanted litters, and increased awareness and compassion toward humane coexistence, with outreach spanning 23 wards including remote villages where access is limited, focusing on high-density and complaint-based cases, and ensuring humane capture, treatment, and release back into familiar territory · Karuna Society for Animals and Nature have used this for feed, maintenance, Animal Birth Control surgeries and salaries of caregivers for our 250+ rescued stray and dependent wildlife animals

How this is measured
US grants placed by each grantee’s ZIP, which can differ from where services are delivered. Need from public data (U.S. Census/ACS, CDC PLACES, Eviction Lab, USDA), shown as context about the area, never attributed to the funder’s giving. Grants abroad on Schedule F are filed by region, purpose and amount with no recipient name, so they are shown by region and cannot be placed on the country map or matched to a grantee.

Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.

How this is measured

Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2021 to 2025, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover.

Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.

    How this is measured
    Government income is each org’s traced federal awards (USASpending grants and contracts) plus state payments (open checkbooks) as a share of its total revenue (IRS Form 990); the self-reported government-grant line (990 line 1e) is carried for cross-check: a grantee that reports government grants we could not trace to a source is left off the chart rather than shown as receiving none. An association, not a claim that a grant caused the public funding. Coverage is precision-first, a floor rather than a census; state records exist for 9 states, so a grantee outside them shows no state figure (dimmed) rather than a false zero. Federal award amounts are obligations, which can span years, so a single-year share is indicative. 990 filings lag 12 to 24 months.

    How do I get to Help Animals India?

    Find your warmest path to Help Animals India through trustees and officers whose names appear on both boards. Search for your organization and Plinth traces the shortest route it can evidence.

    Each link is a name appearing on two organizations’ public IRS 990 filings, matched on that name and, where the filings support it, on location. A same-state match has geographic support, which is a second matching feature rather than confirmation that the two are one person; a cross-state one is the likeliest to be two people who share a name. Every hop shows its tier, low-confidence and distant paths are held back rather than guessed, and it is worth confirming the person before you use the introduction.

    On method. Every financial figure here is read from IRS e-file XML, the funder’s own 990/990-PF, and from the multi-year returns of the 1 grantees we resolved, each linked to its source. Grantee outcomes are each organization’s own program-service reporting (Form 990, Part III), read as association with funding, never as caused by it. Low-confidence name matches are suppressed rather than guessed. How we build these →

    How this is measured
    Each figure carries one of six labels. Filed is what the funder reported on its return. Official is another government record about an organization, such as a federal award or a charity register, joined by name where no shared identifier exists. Resolved is an identity we worked out where the filing named a recipient without an EIN, kept only above a measured confidence threshold. Computed is arithmetic over those, like themes, portfolio clusters and co-funder strength. Context is a statistic about a place rather than about an organization, which is what the need overlay is: it describes the area a grantee’s address sits in, not where its work lands. Inferred is drawn by a model from text, like the partnerships read out of public news and organization websites. Each is labeled where it appears.

    Generated from the IRS Form 990 e-file return for fiscal year 2025, released 2025. Filings run roughly 12 to 24 months behind; figures are dated accordingly.
