01What it does

What Glendale Humane Society & Spca does

Mission

The glendale humane society provides financial assistance to families with animals in need of medical treatment. We work directly with local veterinary practices who have identified a client as a responsible pet parent, unable to pay for treatment to sustain their pet's life. In addition we make grants to carefully vetted, animal-oriented 501(c)(3) organizations to help them complete projects or initiatives that align with our mission and support their charitable goals in the field of animal welfare.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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.

From the IRS filings of GLENDALE HUMANE SOCIETY & SPCA’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

87% 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 GLENDALE HUMANE SOCIETY & SPCA.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $19k 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.
