1. Makenna Gwaltney Named Executive DirectorIn 2020, FieldHaven Feline Centers founder, Joy Smith, along with the Board of Directors, began formulating a succession plan in anticipation of Joys eventual retirement. The plan was thoughtfully crafted with an approximate five-year timeline. In 2024, as planned, Joy stepped down from her role as Executive Director and transitioned into the role of Founder and Ambassador. Makenna Gwaltney, who first joined FieldHaven in 2022 as Clinic Manager, was promoted to Executive Director. Makenna brings not only extensive experience in cat and kitten rescue but also the leadership skills and passion needed to continue expanding our mission.2. Dr. Jennifer Yee Appointed Medical DirectorThe departure of FieldHaven Feline Centers part-time Medical Director in early 2024 presented an opportunity to redesign the role for better integration with our programs. Shelter medicine is a unique and evolving field, and it is essential to have a veterinarian committed to providing the highest level of compassionate, quality care while also maintaining fiscal responsibility.Dr. Jennifer Yee joined us in mid-2024, bringing experience from both private practice…

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 2019 to 2020, from $795k to $1.5M (+83%).
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.
67% of FieldHaven Feline Center’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (74% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

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 6 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $32k → $117k.
10 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% 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 FieldHaven Feline Center’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
FieldHaven Feline Center has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders 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 FieldHaven Feline Center.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 36% · 2018 32% · 2019 36% · 2020 27% · 2021 25% · 2022 38% · 2023 36% — broadly stable.
“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 FieldHaven Feline Center's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
61% of FieldHaven Feline Center'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 $376k that is directly attributable, 51% of it comes from funders outside California, across 10 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $589k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
