01What it does

What Global Strays Inc does

Mission

Global strays aims to reduce the suffering of animals in impoverished regions in latin america. They fund animal shelters and create longlasting partnerships to bring services directly into communities and to increase the well-being of animals and families alike.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Animal shelter support grant program: global strays provides monthly support to animal shelters located in areas of the world which largely lack resources for animal welfare initiatives.

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $200k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
