Mission
To enrich the lives of animals and enhance the lives of people by joining them in loving relationships and to promote responsible pet ownership through public awareness and humane education.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Sheltering and adoption: the Humane Society of Wickenburg provides humane shelter, daily care, and adoption services for homeless, abandoned, lost, and at-risk companion animals. Each animal receives safe housing, medical evaluation and treatment, vaccinations, spay/neuter services, behavioral assessment, and enrichment until reunited with an owner or placed in a permanent, appropriate home. Operating under a no-kill philosophy, the program prioritizes physical, emotional, and behavioral well-being. The adoption process is strongly supported by trained volunteers who assist with socialization, enrichment, counseling, and public engagement. Trough education and community partnerships, the program promotes responsible pet ownership and positive, long-term outcomes for animals in need.

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 2019 to 2020, from $5.4M to $0 (−100%).
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: 2019 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
38% of HUMANE SOCIETY OF WICKENBURG’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).

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 HUMANE SOCIETY OF WICKENBURG.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 91% · 2018 32% · 2019 100% · 2020 39% · 2021 88% · 2022 74% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $115k 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.
