01What it does

What Animal Adoption Center Inc does

Mission

The mission of the Animal Adoption Center is to save lives of homeless animals through rescue, adoption, education and spay/neuter services.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Founded in 2004, the AAC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in downtown Jackson Hole. Our highly visible location promotes excellent community interaction with our animals and programs. Since its inception, the AAC has rescued thousands of animals and placed them in loving forever homes. The AAC rescues animals from overcrowded shelters, abandonment, hoarding cases, and cases of neglect. We partner with regional shelters and national rescues to save animals. Our programs include nightly fostering, dog walking, cat socializing, youth volunteer and internship programs, and community education.

  2. Millions of adoptable cats and dogs are euthanized in America each year due to overcrowding in shelters. In 2009, the AAC launched the Spay/Neuter Wyoming program. This program is designed to attack the root of the pet overpopulation problem through spay/neuter. Our strategy includes hosting free mobile clinics on the Wind River Reservation (WRR), providing low-income vouchers in eight communities, and offering spay/neuter assistance to regional partners. In total, this program has supported over 25,000 spay/ neuter surgeries statewide and beyond.

  3. All AAC animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered prior to adoption. The AAC also provides specialized medical treatment or comprehensive care for animals that, without medical intervention, may be deemed unadoptable. In 2025, AAC constructed a surgical suite in our facility. This reimagined space allows us to host clinics twice a month that serve AAC animals as well as those from our regional partners. This initiative increases access to low-cost, high-quality surgery while reducing pressure on regional clinics amid the nationwide veterinary shortage. While many clinics have wait times of weeks or even months for spay/ neuter appointments, our surgical suite allows animals to receive care quickly, thereby reducing the length of shelter stays. So far, this program has benefited 250 adoptable animals and saved the AAC over $25,000 in medical expenses.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 12 funders to 23 funders, grant income rose $117k → $626k.

12 of 51 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 44% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of Animal Adoption Center Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 51 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

Animal Adoption Center Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

48% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Animal Adoption Center Inc.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
