Programs
Capacity building: with a network of 23 member wildlife centers in 13 african countries, the pan african sanctuary alliance is uniquely positioned to address the illegal wildlife trade, the bushmeat crisis, and other animal protection issues on a large scale, and produce lasting changes to reduce suffering and abuse. Pasa builds the capacity of its member organizations in diverse ways and is fostering a global movement to save africa's great apes and monkeys. Pasa provides its members with specialized training and networking opportunities, increases their visibility in the global conservation and animal welfare communities, and provides other support as needed.

Pasa provides emergency grants for its member organizations in africa and works with the organizations to resolve the crises and ensure they continue to provide excellent care to the animals who depend on them. In addition to giving funding, pasa's emergency support consists of giving guidance, fundraising, and forging connections veterinarians and other specialists who have needed expertise.

$30,220 spent2% of program spendingAction for chimpanzees: in response to reports by wildlife centers in west africa of a dire increase in the number of chimpanzees confiscated from the thriving illegal wildlife trade, pasa launched action for chimpanzees to resolve this crisis at its roots. The program includes genetic research to sequence genomes of chimpanzees confiscated from traffickers and use a genetic "map" to determine the origin of these trafficking victims, which will provide evidence of trafficking hotspots and smuggling routes. The results will be used to focus anti-trafficking projects on priority areas and amplify efforts to stamp out the illegal trade. Additional components of action for chimpanzees include a large-scale public awareness campaign across the region as well as training for law enforcement officials and the judiciary.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $160k to $1.3M (+723%).
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: 2018 20% · 2019 0% · 2020 6% · 2021 48% · 2022 37% · 2023 45% · 2024 32%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of PAN AFRICAN SANCTUARY ALLIANCE INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (74% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 15 funders, grant income rose $35k → $191k.
7 of 40 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 20% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
38% 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 PAN AFRICAN SANCTUARY ALLIANCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 58% · 2018 33% · 2019 30% · 2020 32% · 2021 35% · 2022 26% · 2023 15% — 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.

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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $357k 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.
