01What it does

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $14k → $42k.

5 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 89% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of LEAGUE FOR ANIMALS AND PEOPLE OF THE SUMMIT’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.

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.

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.
