The organization over time

Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 GOLDEN RETRIEVER SENIOR RESCUE SANCTUARY AND EDUCATIONAL CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 66% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 99% — growing more concentrated.

Where its funders are
98% of GOLDEN RETRIEVER SENIOR RESCUE SANCTUARY AND EDUCATIONAL CENTER'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 $5k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Massachusetts, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $201k 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.
