What Friends of Russell County Animals does
Mission
Frca strives to achieve transformational change in the regard of animals within our community, by addressing the root cause of the problem which is poverty. We acknowledge that significant barriers exist for pet-owners living in poverty, including affordable and desired services for a beloved pet. Through donor and grant support, our programs reduce overpopulation and local shelter intake, while improving the lives of both people and pets. This is achieved by assistance with spay/neuter and veterinary services, and by offering outreach services as an alternative to surrendering a pet. We foster positive, non-judgmental relationships with those we serve and provide the opportunity to keep pets happy, health, and forever in their own home
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $906 to $6k (+604%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2021 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
68% 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 RUSSELL COUNTY ANIMALS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 55% · 2022 77% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $29k 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.
