What Friends of Arlington Animal Services does
Mission
Our primary focus has been Arlington's free roaming cat population. We trap, neuter and release cats deemed "feral" in city colonies and also the shelter. We work with the city and officials to control the population of free roaming cats. Our clinic and partners have spayed and neutered hundreds of cats.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990-EZ.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
88% 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 FRIENDS OF ARLINGTON ANIMAL SERVICES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 76% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 56% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 55% — 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
76% of FRIENDS OF ARLINGTON ANIMAL SERVICES'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 $16k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Texas, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $49k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
