What Battle Mountain Humane Society does
Mission
To provide comprehensive care in a loving and safe environment to animals in need in fall river county, sd and surrounding areas, while reducing the number of animals in need of rescue and promoting kindness towards animals in the community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Battle Mountain Humane Society rebuilt after the fire in 2011 with a much larger facility which is a 30x90 kennel area for the dogs along with a 40x42 office area which will have space for a grooming area along with a vet room to help care for the animals until they find their forever home. We have added more fencing to accomodate for the dogs on the 8 1/2 acres of land. We are currently in the process of building a cat shelter located on the same property at 27254 wind cave rd which will be 36x48 allowing the cats to be contained in rooms and not cages. We also have a second cat facility located at a different location. Bmhs also has done some landscaping to try and keep rain away from the building. In 2012 we adopted a total of 110 animals to forever homes. We have successfully saved two dogs with cancer. The average number of dogs and cats tend to be around 65 for the year.

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 2024 to 2025, from $560k to $741k (+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.
99% of BATTLE MOUNTAIN HUMANE SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 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.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income fell $100k → $71k.
4 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $103k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
