What Northeast Animal Shelter Inc does
Mission
To provide, promote, and advance humane protection, care and treatment of animals thru education of the public and the operation of an animal shelter which cares for, spays and neuters, and places homeless pets in permanent homes.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Program
Northeast animal shelter, inc. (the shelter) aims to help as many animals, and people, as possible by providing humane care and resources for homeless and owned pets. Each year, the shelter's animal relocation program tranports thousands of cats and dogs from overpopulated animal shelters accross the country to massachusetts, where each animal receives medical care, enrichment and behavior training prior to adoption. The shelter promotes compassion for all animals through its community programs, and partnerships that focus on strenghtening the human-animal bond to keep people and pets together. In 2022, the shelter placed 3,855 animals in homes. The community outreach team also supported 12,501 animals through outreach efforts - including vaccine clinics, wellness exams, spay/neuter services, and the community pet food bank which donated 604,625 pet food meals and 14,607 pounds of cat litter to support struggling pet owners in the community.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $20M 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: 2020 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

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
NORTHEAST ANIMAL SHELTER INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
30% 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 NORTHEAST ANIMAL SHELTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 79% · 2019 79% · 2020 56% · 2021 65% · 2022 21% · 2023 35% — broadly stable.
“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
44% of NORTHEAST ANIMAL SHELTER INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% 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
NORTHEAST ANIMAL SHELTER INC draws 80% of its grant income from funders outside Massachusetts, across 23 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $797k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
