What Houston Animal Rescue Team HART does
Mission
Harts board is comprised of houston-area people who have long been active in dog rescue, and who want to make a difference in outcomes for stray dogs and those surrendered to local shelters. The new endeavor will have foster-based rescues, and we will also augment our capability to save dogs with a kennel-based system to be built on a beautiful property in tomball.rescued dogs will be fully vetted and, when ready, adopted out on-site at the facility, or through meetings with fosters. Hart will also coordinate with shelters in the northern u.s. To find homes for dogs that arent adopted locally. Additionally, hart will provide information, education and community advocacy to improve animal welfare, via adoption, training, and fundraising events, visits to schools, and through social media. The facility is being designed for efficient sanitation and maximum comfort and socialization opportunities for the dogs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Hart rescues mixed breed dogs from local shelters that are placed on the euthanasia list. They are moved to the hart facilities where they are spayed/neutered, given updated shots and treated for any medical conditions. They are also trained and provided care until they are adopted or transfered to another rescue.

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 2023 to 2024, from $276k to $56k (−80%).
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.
133% of Houston Animal Rescue Team HART’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $7k → $2k.
3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 83% 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
Houston Animal Rescue Team HART leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 95%; 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 Houston Animal Rescue Team HART.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 84% — 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.
Where its funders are
83% of Houston Animal Rescue Team HART'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 $3k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Texas funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
