Program
In 2024, mission served 9,004 pets from 6,532 families for a total of 18,444 pet visits. We prevented 856 pets from being relinquished (surrendered) due to veterinary costs, keeping pets in their loving homes. 85.28% of our clients were able to access our subsidized prices by self identifying as low income. We helped subsidize over $1,000,000 in veterinary care costs for our clients in 2024. In 2024 we had 174 volunteers work 2,255 hours for a value of $67,678.building on our 2023 investment in it, medical record and human resources technology to help better position our hospital for growth, in 2024, mission kicked off a capital campaign to open a second hospital location in colorado. Colorado is intended to be our proof of concept model and the first step in a plan to nationally expand our model of nonprofit veterinary care across the country.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2020 to 2021, from $2.1M to $1.5M (−28%).
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 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
20% of MISSION ANIMAL HOSPITAL’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (74% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 20 funders, grant income rose $203k → $836k.
9 of 44 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% 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 MISSION ANIMAL HOSPITAL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 44 funders by total. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
MISSION ANIMAL HOSPITAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 71%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
33% 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 MISSION ANIMAL HOSPITAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 86% · 2018 61% · 2019 40% · 2020 44% · 2021 40% · 2022 54% · 2023 27% — 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
55% of MISSION ANIMAL HOSPITAL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% 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
79% of MISSION ANIMAL HOSPITAL's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $966k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
Against its field
MISSION ANIMAL HOSPITAL's funding base is broadening — from 5 funders to 20 as grant income climbed.
