What Pause4paws Inc does
Mission
Pause4Paws promotes access to healthcare for pet owners in the Tulsa, Oklahoma, metro area impacted by homelessness, mental illness, or addiction who need inpatient treatment but have no one to care for their pets.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Pause4Paws, Inc. is a Tulsa, Oklahoma nonprofit that arranges short term foster care for pets while their owners, who are experiencing homelessness, mental illness or addiction, receive urgent inpatient medical, mental health, or substance abuse treatment. Pet ownership has often been a barrier for individuals to accept available inpatient care because these individuals do not want to abandon their pets. Our foster services are limited to pet owners who have been referred by a social services or health care provider dedicated to helping individuals experiencing homelessness, mental illness or addiction. Through our services, individuals who might not otherwise receive treatment, are given a chance at a healthier, safer, and more productive life. In 2024, we had 149 intakes and provided pet foster care for 129 unique individuals. These individuals were referred to us from over 30 different social service and healthcare organizations. Pause4Paws is a crucial link in the continuum of care for pet owners with mental illness, addiction and homelessness. Every pet who passes through our program is vaccinated and spayed/neutered, as needed, through one of our many partner veterinarians.…

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 2021 to 2022, from $60k to $93k (+55%).
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.
77% of PAUSE4PAWS INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

2 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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 PAUSE4PAWS INC’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
PAUSE4PAWS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 71% · 2020 38% · 2021 26% · 2022 24% · 2023 28% — 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
71% of PAUSE4PAWS INC'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
90% of PAUSE4PAWS INC's grant income comes from Oklahoma funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8k 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.
