What Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society does
Mission
To improve life for all animals by providing temporary shelter, compassionate care, community support, and education. The society accomplishes this through animal sheltering, adoption, community spay and neuter programs and a pet food pantry.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The low cost spay and neuter clinic provides affordable surgical sterilization for over 3,000 dogs and cats from local residents and local animal shelters. The clinic also provides reduced cost vaccinations, heartworm tests, feline leukemia/feline immunodeficiency virus tests, deworming, ear cleaning and microchipping at the time of surgery.

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 2024 to 2025, from $5.9M to $11M (+87%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 16% · 2021 5% · 2022 4% · 2023 4% · 2024 7% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
86% of GLOUCESTER-MATHEWS HUMANE SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (74% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $83k → $179k.
5 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 81% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of GLOUCESTER-MATHEWS HUMANE SOCIETY’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.
How concentrated its funding is
GLOUCESTER-MATHEWS HUMANE SOCIETY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 79% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
82% 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 GLOUCESTER-MATHEWS HUMANE SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 45% · 2019 40% · 2020 79% · 2021 38% · 2022 78% · 2023 72% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
60% of GLOUCESTER-MATHEWS HUMANE SOCIETY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
81% of GLOUCESTER-MATHEWS HUMANE SOCIETY'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 $772k that is directly attributable, 73% of it comes from funders outside Virginia, across 11 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.3M 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. 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.
