What Humane Society-Spca of Nelson County does
Mission
Hs/spca of nelson county exists to improve animal and public welfare by providing rescue, care, and adoption services for homeless companion animals. Our mission is to save animals' lives, to promote humane, responsible pet ownership, to protect animals from abuse and neglect, and to combat overpopulation through spayneuter and trapneuterreturn programs, with the goal that no healthy or reasonably treatable, nonaggressive companion animal is euthanized in our service area.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Through operation of our almost home pet adoption center and fostercare networks, we provided some 99 dogs and 319 cats with food, shelter, veterinary care, and vaccinations, sterilization, adoption, and related services. Among other things, we: transported animals to local vet offices and adoption venues; marketed pets for adoption online; presented pets for adoption at almost home; helped to reunite lost and found pets with owners; and, worked with the county government's animal control division to take 23 dogs and 34 cats from their custody, (many more came directly to us) saving many from euthanasia.
$328,930 spent$1,215 earned by the program84% of program spendingWe funded and coordinated low/no cost spayneuter, testing, and vaccinations services (performed by licensed veterinarians) for approximately 58 dogs and 68 cats of low income residents on a "pay what you can" basis, thus improving animal health, augmenting public safety by increasing compliance with rabies vaccination requirements, and avoiding geometric growth in future numbers of "surplus" companion animals. To these same ends, 160 "feral/unsocialized" cats were trapped, given veterinary exams and services, sterilized, then returned for care at long term sites or by the "owners" under our trapneuterreturn program. Additional tnr cats that proved to have been sterilized already were given rabies vaccinations, and/or fiv/felv tests only.
$61,359 spent$340 earned by the program16% of program spendingThrough our pet rescue/transport programs, we saved and transported 28 dogs and puppies, and 87 cats and kittens, for adoption at cooperating shelters in areas where pets are in demand. Pets in these programs receive vaccinations and veterinary care. Those of suitable age are sterilized prior to transport; younger animals are sterilized through the receiving agencies prior to adoption.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $1.4M to $2.1M (+47%).
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: 2020 1% · 2021 1% · 2022 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
76% 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-SPCA OF NELSON COUNTY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 61% · 2018 62% · 2019 63% · 2020 55% · 2021 40% · 2022 45% · 2023 53% — diversifying over time.

36% of HUMANE SOCIETY-SPCA OF NELSON COUNTY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
76% of HUMANE SOCIETY-SPCA OF NELSON COUNTY'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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $67k 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.
