What Fixin the Coast does

Mission

Fixin the Coast is an all volunteer organization and the premier spay/neuter organization in Harrison County providing a broad spectrum of spay/neuter solutions to reduce the number of unwanted or homeless cats. We offer low cost spay/neuter vouchers for friendly community cats which are ear tipped for identification, pet spay/neuter vouchers when available, and foster and adopt out kittens from the streets of South MS which are all fixed prior to adoption. This year we supported the Animal Control Officers in several municipalities to provide spay/neuter services and educational opportunities.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2020 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $623 → $8k.

3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 50% 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 FIXIN THE COAST’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

FIXIN THE COAST leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

50% 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 FIXIN THE COAST.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 80% · 2021 72% · 2022 58% · 2023 60% — 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.

Where its funders are

50% of FIXIN THE COAST'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 $21k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Mississippi, across 3 states.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $21k 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.
