What Animal Protective Association of Missouri does
Mission
Bringing people and pets together, advancing humane education and creating programs beneficial to the human/animal bond.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Adoption - the association takes in companion animals that have strayed, been abandoned, or whose owners can no longer care for them and makes every effort to provide a second chance for all adoptable animals to find loving and permanent homes. The association also helps overcrowded shelters and rescue groups find homes for their animals by transferring them into the association's adoption center. At the association's brentwood location, 4,529 animals were adopted this year with another 248 lost animals reunited with their families. At the st. Louis county olivette location, 2,254 animals were adopted this year with another 991 lost animals reunited with their families.
$7,289,526 spent$3,693,569 earned by the program90% of program spendingEducation - the association actively works to educate the public on animal welfare issues and the benefits of the human/animal bond with programs reaching schools, organizations, and children. Approximately 279 individuals and children were reached by these programs. Partnering with facilities, 180 hours were completed through our petreach program which connects pets with seniors in our community. The association also provides outreach programs to benefit the community. The domestic violence pet assistance program (safecare) assists victims of domestic abuse by fostering their pets while they regain their independence outside of a violent home. Safecare assisted 56 animals and of those, 48 were returned to their owners. Crisis housing assisted 38 animals at the association's brentwood & olivette locations, and of those, 30 were returned to their owners.

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 2023 to 2024, from $22M to $29M (+32%).
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.
65% of ANIMAL PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION OF MISSOURI’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (67% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
77% 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 PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION OF MISSOURI.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 30% · 2018 29% · 2019 23% · 2020 22% · 2021 29% · 2022 31% · 2023 38% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
