What Blue Mountain Humane Society does
Mission
To prevent cruelty and promote kindness to companion animals in their community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2024, Blue Mountain Humane Society gave hundreds of animals a second chance while providing vital support to the people who care for them.we welcomed 662 dogs and 577 cats into our care, many arriving as strays, through owner surrenders, or via law enforcement seizures. Thanks to the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and foster families, 383 dogs and 549 cats found new homes, including playful puppies and kittens, loyal adult companions, and cherished seniors. Our foster program gave 245 animals the chance to heal, grow, and prepare for adoption in a home setting.our veterinary team performed 3,406 surgeries, including 539 low-income spay/neuter procedures that kept pets with their families and 227 trap-neuter-return surgeries to improve the welfare of community cats.as the region's only open-admission shelter, we met rising demand with compassion and commitment, ensuring that every animal we served in 2024 had the opportunity for a safe, healthy, and hopeful future.

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 2021 to 2022, from $6.1M to $5.2M (−14%).
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: 2021 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
49% of BLUE MOUNTAIN HUMANE SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (74% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $126k → $211k.
8 of 37 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 60% 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 BLUE MOUNTAIN HUMANE SOCIETY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 37 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
BLUE MOUNTAIN HUMANE SOCIETY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
81% 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 BLUE MOUNTAIN HUMANE SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 80% · 2018 73% · 2019 66% · 2020 44% · 2021 35% · 2022 74% · 2023 76% — 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
37% of BLUE MOUNTAIN HUMANE SOCIETY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
60% of BLUE MOUNTAIN HUMANE SOCIETY's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $798k that is directly attributable, 64% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
