As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Cascades humane society ("chs")adopted more that 1,100 animals into their forever homes in the current fiscal year. In addition to adoptions, chs provides the community with unique services. Our low cost spay and neuter services (snap) for owned animals means pets are being sterilized that may not have been otherwise. This not only prevents unwanted litters of puppies and kittens, but it also keeps the owned animal healthier and happier. We also offer services at the time of surgery such as vaccines, microchips, and disease tests. The forgotten feline program (a tnr program) assists kind-hearted people care for the free- roaming or feral cats. We will spay and neuter the cats and give each a rabies vaccine. Lastly, we are proud to offer a pet food pantry that feeds the pets of families who are going through financial hardships, distributing more than 15,000 pounds of food this year. This keeps pets in their homes where they belong because a family does not need to make a difficult decision between feeding their pet and paying their bills. During the current fiscal year, chs spayed or neutered more than 900 owned animals and nearly 60 cats through our forgotten feline program. In…

This program exists on donations from the community, and the pet food pantry program is intended to supplement an eligible resident's monthly supply of pet food, and not be a sole source of their pet's nutritional needs.

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 $8.5M to $9.9M (+16%).
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 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
68% of CASCADES HUMANE SOCIETY INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (74% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 12 funders, grant income fell $461k → $187k.
7 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $10k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jackson Community Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money CASCADES HUMANE SOCIETY INC raised.

42% of CASCADES HUMANE SOCIETY INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $91k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
