What Greyhound Adoption Center does
Mission
Our mission is to find loving homes for rescued dogs, mostly racetrack greyhounds, but also non-racers and greyhound mixes. Our goal is to save as many dogs as we can while maintaining a quality program focused on each individual dog and prospective adopters' needs. To this end, we serve as advocates for each person adopting and each dog welcomed into their home as family.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Shelter and adoption program: gac saves dogs discarded by the greyhound racing industry for the past 30 years. This work was transferred to san diego humane society in february 2023 when cash, real property, and all other fixed assets used in gac's operations were transferred to this nonprofit organization to provide medical care and shelter for greyhounds for one year after the caliente, mexico greyhound racetrack closes. The track closed in july 2024. Any of gac's transferred assets remaining after this date may be used for san diego humane society's operations. In february 2023, 290,000 in cash, and 332,490 in fixed assets were transferred to san diego humane society as gac continued to close operations. In october 2024, the remaining cash of 74,020 was paid to san diego humane society via certified check when gac's operations terminated.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $74,020.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $756k to $119k (−84%).
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: 2021 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 4 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $21k → $4k.
4 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 34% 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 GREYHOUND ADOPTION CENTER’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
GREYHOUND ADOPTION CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 65%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% 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 GREYHOUND ADOPTION CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 28% · 2019 34% · 2020 31% · 2021 30% · 2022 47% · 2023 59% — diversifying over time.
“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
33% of GREYHOUND ADOPTION CENTER'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
GREYHOUND ADOPTION CENTER draws 83% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 11 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $81k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
