What Pals4paws does

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Pals4Paws' single purpose is to assist small and rural animal shelters, rescues and sanctuaries with grants to provide for basic and urgent needs such as veterinary care, food and supplies. We are an all-volunteer 501 (c) (3) non-profit group of animal lovers seeking to help support basic needs of small and rural shelters, rescues, and sanctuaries through grants. Together with our donors, we specifically support small and rural shelters and rescues that may not have fancy facilities or glamorous fundraisers. We seek to support those that are doing great work but need funding for basic needs such as food, beds, and cleaning supplies. We do the work of finding the places where smaller grants can have a big impact. We provide grants for many types of rescue animals...we love them all!

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $75k to $59k (−21%).
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.
100% of PALS4PAWS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $9 → $90k.
2 of 3 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 PALS4PAWS’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.
How concentrated its funding is
PALS4PAWS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 79% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of PALS4PAWS's grant income comes from Washington funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $23k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
