What Pawswithcause does
Mission
PawsWithCause improves the lives of shelter animals through community art, volunteer engagement, and compassionate service while creating opportunities for people to build purpose, connection and belonging.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
During Fiscal Year 2025 we participated in 275 events. We highlighted over 3,000 shelter animals through our programs. Our services painted 2,500 pet portraits. We engaged with more than 15,000 community visitors creating art and compassion. These were recognized in 34 artist galleries and supported over 101 animal shelters. Our Wellness, Arts, and the Military program, serving Veterans, Active duty personnel and military connected individuals and families was particularly successful as were our library outreach programs in four counties.
$45,000 spent$14,000 earned by the program9% of program spendingPawsWithCause believes strongly in supporting spay and neuter funding as a grassroots effort aligned with animal control and compassion. To forward this initiative, we partner with Pasado's Safe Haven, Pawsitive Alliance, Feral Cat Spap and Neuter Project and others. The funding herein extends to First Nations Tribes, low income, and rural communities
$30,000 spentof which $30,000 as grants6% of program spendingManaged a comprehensive shelter support and resource allocation program dedicated to reducing euthanasia rates and optimizing shelter outcomes across regional networks. Successfully secured, managed, and distributed $137,676 in critical physical non-cash contributions-including premium cat food, litter, and essential shelter supplies-directly to over 101 partner animal shelters. These operational outcomes were heavily fortified by $246,600 in donated program facilities, warehouse logistics infrastructure, and administrative workspace usage. This immense volunteer and physical infrastructure enabled the organization to operate at a massive regional scale, stabilizing local shelters and directly enhancing the care, visibility, and adoption metrics of thousands of vulnerable animals without placing an additional cash burden on our community partners.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $49k to $36k (−27%).
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: 2026 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of PAWSWITHCAUSE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $29 → $25k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 PAWSWITHCAUSE’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
PAWSWITHCAUSE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 PAWSWITHCAUSE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 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 PAWSWITHCAUSE's grant income comes from Washington funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $159 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
