What Douglas Animal Welfare Group does
Mission
The purpose of DAWG is to better the lives of the Douglas County, Nevada animals by improving their adoptability and thereby increasing the adoption rate while at Douglas County Animal Care and Services, educating the community about responsible pet ownership, and engaging in other projects and activities that will yield positive benefits to the animals, owners, and citizens.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
DAWG spent $58,804 assisting Douglas County Animal Shelter DCAS animals get adopted. They did this by paying for necessary veterinary care, absorbing the cost of spays and neuters, purchasing vaccinations and subsidizing adoption fees. DAWG provided $71,124 of assistance to Douglas County animals by helping low income families pay for necessary and emergency veterinary care, spays and neuters and vaccinations. DAWG spent $46,583 to trap, sterilize and return feral cats to their colonies or foster friendly and community cats until they can be adopted.

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 $794k to $998k (+26%).
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 10% · 2018 16% · 2019 22% · 2020 33% · 2021 26% · 2022 24% · 2023 29%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
82% of Douglas Animal Welfare Group’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

From the IRS filings of Douglas Animal Welfare Group’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 18 of 19 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
Douglas Animal Welfare Group has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
35% 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 Douglas Animal Welfare Group.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 67% · 2018 100% · 2019 37% · 2020 72% · 2021 40% · 2022 44% · 2023 32% — 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
43% of Douglas Animal Welfare Group's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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 Douglas Animal Welfare Group's grant income comes from Nevada funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $129k 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.
