What Friends of Humane Services in Tijuana does
Mission
Friends of Humane Services in Tijuana was founded in August of 2007. Our mission is to support organizations and individuals who work to improve the conditions in the US and Mexican communities that border the Tijuana, Mexico area, by promoting programs of humane treatment of animals; in particular, spay and neutering programs, parasite control programs, street rescues, prevention of international smuggling of animals through awareness and public education, and general public education to inculcate a culture of humane treatment of animals.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
For the fiscal year ending on 30 June 2025, FHSTJ was able to exceed its goals due to the generosity of our donors. We provided 1,114 free spay/neuter surgeries for rescuers and people with limited resources. 1,650 low cost spay/neuter for those able to contribute to the cost of materials.402 free veterinary medical/surgical treatments for animals of rescuers, placed 54 dogs in forever homes in the San Diego area, and facilitated 80 cat and dog adoptions in Mexico. We distributed 25,000 pounds of pet food. The vast majority of FHSTJ support is via event-based funding to cover the expenses of grassroots rescue groups that staff mass free spay/ neuter clinics in the poorest areas of Tijuana. FHSTJ also provides medications and materials to volunteers doing free mange and parasite treatment at street events for pets as well as street animals located in the most distressed areas of the greater Tijuana area. Individual veterinary treatments were provided to animals of rescuers via a certificate program that facilitates immediate veterinary care. The aforementioned programs also provide public education through both formal public sessions and informal one-on-one counseling.With the…

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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $325k to $358k (+10%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
66% 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 Humane Services in Tijuana.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 95% · 2021 62% · 2022 75% · 2023 93% — 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.

0% of Friends of Humane Services in Tijuana's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
66% of Friends of Humane Services in Tijuana'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 $33k that is directly attributable, 68% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $63k 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.
