What Animal House Project does
Mission
Animal House Project's mission is to offer comprehensive support to vulnerable animals. This includes rescuing, adopting, and facilitating access to veterinary care and food. Through dedicated efforts, innovative solutions and strategic partnerships, we are shaping a future where every companion animal finds a nurturing home free from mistreatment and hunger and receives the devoted care they deserve. We are committed to addressing the needs of at-risk animals and their dedicated families, ensuring a brighter future for these cherished companions.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
On january 1, 2024, Animal House Project launched a new initiative by acquiring a pet retail store to strengthen sustainability and expand program service. See schedule o for a discussion about this new program as part of all other accomplishments (part iii, line 4d).
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Since 2010, Animal House Project has operated the companion pet food pantry serving the tri-county area of eastern pennsylvania. The program provides donated pet food and supplies to families living below 200% of the federal poverty level, including seniors, veterans, single parents, medically challenged individual, and victims of domestic violence. To address declining donations, the organization acquired a pet retail store to strengthen manufacturer partnerships and ensure a stable supply chain. In 2024 with the support of 70 volunteers, the pantry distributed 90,542 pounds of pet food and 20,859 pounds of litter, assisting 3,348 companion animals. Since inception, the program has distributed over 5.4 million pounds of food and services to families, rescues, and disaster relief efforts throughout eastern pennsylvania.
$77,884 spent$301,051 earned by the program11% of program spendingThe safehaven animal rescue team operates a full-scale rescue, rehome, and sanctuary program in northeast texas, dedicated to large-breed dogs. The program leases two acres from a legacy ranch and manages all utilities and operating costs while providing full medical care including spay/neuter, heartworm testing and prevention, vaccinations, training, boarding, and food. In 2023 safehaven placed 90 dogs in loving homes across the united states and canada; in 2024, 67 dogs were successfully rehomed. Overflow housing is managed through three offsite partner facilities, ensuring every animal receives proper care until adoption or sanctuary placement.
$150,356 spent$114,805 earned by the program22% of program spendingSince 2016, Animal House Project has operated the rescue pet food pantry to supply donated pet food to smaller 501(c)(3) dog and cat rescue organizations. The program distributes donations that cannot be allocated to companion pet food pantry, ensuring that all usable food benefits animals in need. In 2024, donor guidelines increased the annual revenue threshold for participating rescues to under 250,000, allowing additional groups to qualify for support. During 2024, the program assisted 50 rescue organizations, helping them reduce operational expenses and improve animal care. Participation is projected to grow in 2025 with the addition of a new outreach program expanding access to food distribution resources.
$122,281 spent18% of program spendingOn january 1, 2024, Animal House Project launched a new initiative by acquiring a pet retail store to strengthen sustainability and expand program services. This opportunity addressed declining food donations and served three purposes: 1. Establishing direct relationships with pet food manufactures, allowing the property to receive larger donation quantities for its pantries through retail purchase agreements. 2. Offering low-cost vaccines to pantry clients, rescues, and the public to support affordable veterinary care. 3. Providing kennel space to facilitate the movement of dogs north for placement into permanent homes. Two of the three goals were fully realized: manufacturer partnerships and low-cost vaccine services creating both a new community resource and revenue support stream. Through this expansion, Animal House Project also became the operator of a small-to medium-breed dog rescue, including puppy placements, further enhancing its mission to save lives and support responsible pet ownership.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $124k to $221k (+78%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2024 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
36% of ANIMAL HOUSE PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $0 → $55k.
3 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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 HOUSE PROJECT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 45% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 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 HOUSE PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 93% · 2021 96% · 2022 51% · 2023 73% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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 long its funders stay
60% of ANIMAL HOUSE PROJECT's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 67% give in more than one year at all.
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.
Where its funders are
ANIMAL HOUSE PROJECT draws 59% of its grant income from funders outside Pennsylvania, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $43k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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. 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.
