What League for Animals and People of the Summit does
Mission
The League for Animals & People of the Summit was established in 1990 and obtained 501(c)(3) status in 1992. We work to reduce the number of unwanted pets through comprehensive spay/neuter programs and give financial aid to low income residents to obtain necessary veterinary care for their animals. We seek to promote and enhance the human-animal bond with our financial aid programs and our fun-draisers that get whole families to participate in events with their dogs. L.A.P.S. also financially assists the Summit County Animal Shelter to offset the spay/neuter costs for adoptee animals in residence by subsidizing their entire spay/neuter program through grants LAPS receives.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

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 $84k to $179k (+113%).
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.
98% of LEAGUE FOR ANIMALS AND PEOPLE OF THE SUMMIT’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $14k → $42k.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
93% 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 LEAGUE FOR ANIMALS AND PEOPLE OF THE SUMMIT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 63% · 2018 63% · 2019 86% · 2020 52% · 2021 43% · 2022 54% · 2023 46% — 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
50% of LEAGUE FOR ANIMALS AND PEOPLE OF THE SUMMIT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 90% 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
89% of LEAGUE FOR ANIMALS AND PEOPLE OF THE SUMMIT'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 $29k that is directly attributable, 96% of it comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $243k 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.
