What Beatrice Humane Society Inc does
Mission
To shelter, protect, and place lost and homeless companion animals in gage county and to be an educational resource
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The beatrice humane society is a no-kill animal shelter serving beatrice, gage county and beyond. We provide shelter to animals in need so they can recover and be reunited with their original family or placed for adoption with no time limits. In 2024 we had 1424 adoptions, and assisted 1630 animals through the shelter, with an amazing save rate of 97.8%. This means less than 2.2% of the total number of animals entering the shelter medically or behaviorally needed euthanasia. We take our commitment to lifesaving seriously and each year we work to help more at-risk animals. We have developed a ringworm treatment suite to house and treat cats locally and as transfers from other shelters, established partnerships with some of the best trainers in nebraska to assist our behaviorally vulnerable dogs, empowered our foster parents to help us adopt out our animals and created a partnership with both lincoln petsmarts to extend our lifesaving mission through adoption. We are also committed to keeping pets in their homes through pet retention assistance and our pet food bank. Through this we aim to be the best resource we can be for the pets and people who love them in our community.
$463,240 spent65% of program spendingIn may of 2023, we opened the doors of our public facing low-cost spay and neuter clinic. We have known for many years that access to affordable preventative care has been impacting the income restricted families in our communities. Proportionally they provide a larger number of strays, surrenders and pet retention assistance requests than other parts of our community. By providing them assistance to get preventative veterinary care such as spays and neuters, we will see a decrease in the number of animals being surrendered and by including microchipping in our packages we hope to be able to reunite them with the families that love them easier. We are ecstatic about being able to offer trap, vaccinate, neuter and return to their home to the feral cats in our communities at a price point that cities, towns and even individual owners can access that care. We know that this is the most effective form of outdoor cat population control and are excited to see our communities improve with the rollout of the tvnr program. Finally, we are also providing in house spays and neuters as well as additional advanced veterinary care for our shelter animals allowing us to provide them the highest…

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 2017 to 2018, from $47k to $1.4M (+2878%).
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: 2017 17% · 2018 3% · 2019 18% · 2020 24% · 2021 11% · 2022 8% · 2023 8% · 2024 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
43% of BEATRICE HUMANE SOCIETY INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).

3 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

BEATRICE HUMANE SOCIETY INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
65% 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 BEATRICE HUMANE SOCIETY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 80% · 2019 36% · 2020 36% · 2021 42% · 2022 33% · 2023 38% — 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.

80% of BEATRICE HUMANE SOCIETY INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
68% of BEATRICE HUMANE SOCIETY INC's grant income comes from Nebraska funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $28k 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.
