$401,601 spent$345,431 earned by the program15% of program spendingAdoption & rescue since 2003, hart for animals, inc. Has been working with the garrett county animal shelter to rescue the animals that arrive at the shelter and are not adopted. Due to the shelter's space limitations, animals who were not adopted immediately were euthanized to allow room for other incoming animals. By working cooperatively with the shelter and with rescue groups, hart is able to rescue and transport 50% of the animals arriving at the shelter. Any animals brought into the shelter are evaluated by hart's rescue coordinator and all adoptable animals are either transported or brought to hart's adoption center. Any tests and vaccinations needed are administered and all animals being adopted at the center are spayed/ neutered prior to their adoption. The adoption manager evaluates all potential adopters to ensure the pet goes to the best suited home. Although the adoption wing finds home for many animals, hart still continues to do transports to rescue groups in surrounding metropolitan areas, where some of the animals have a greater chance of being adopted.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $3.6M to $4.0M (+11%).
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: 2017 13% · 2018 5% · 2019 6% · 2020 15% · 2022 1% · 2023 1% · 2024 1% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year

9 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
HART FOR ANIMALS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
45% 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 HART FOR ANIMALS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 84% · 2018 45% · 2019 44% · 2020 29% · 2021 25% · 2022 43% · 2023 43% — 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $337k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
