What People Animals Love Inc does
Mission
The organization's mission is to sponsor programs for adults and children that demonstrate how the special bond between animals and humans can make a unique contribution in solving challenging societal needs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2023 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
To better focus on people animals love's mission, the organization discontinued two programs in 2023. The virtual pal visiting program, through which volunteers and their animal companions provided online opportunities for reading, music, art, and social interaction programs to children and seniors, was discontinued. This program had been launched in 2020 to provide services to those affected by the pandemic lockdown. People animals love continues to provide support to a few nonprofit groups (e.g., the children's brain tumor foundation) to provide a platform for virtual pet meetings to their beneficiaries. After an extensive feasibility assessment process, people animals love also discontinued development of a virtual visitation program for children's hospitals. People animals love concluded that it was not possible to effectively develop and manage the program without a full-time, dedicated child life specialist on staff, while also sustaining pal's in-person visiting program, meeting the growing demand for in-person visits, and aligning our work with standards of practice in animal-assisted interventions.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
In person animal-assisted support program (in-person therapy team visits): volunteers and their dogs, who are screened, assessed, trained, and credentialed as pal therapy dog-handler teams, visit people in the washington dc metro area to promote their health and wellbeing. All visits are provided within the united states. Most visits are with older adults, children, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable populations such as people who are ill, grieving, unhoused, incarcerated, or socially isolated and lonely. Therapy teams also help "the helpers" by supporting frontline workers such as healthcare and hospice staff; teachers and school administrators; police officers; veterans; and families and caregivers of those who are ill or at the end of life. Our "read to a dog" visits in schools and libraries help children build their reading skills, confidence, and empathy. In 2023, more than 200 pal teams made more than 2,500 impactful visits at 282 different sites. On each of these visits, pal teams may meet with as few as one person, or as many as 50+ people. Because the exact number of people that pal teams visit with cannot be accurately tracked, pal estimates that 82,000…

The program described on its FY2023 Form 990. Program spending in total: $137,159.
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. 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 2017 to 2018, from $263k to $142k (−46%).
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: 2017 58%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of PEOPLE ANIMALS LOVE INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $32k.
5 of 14 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.
From the IRS filings of PEOPLE ANIMALS LOVE 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
PEOPLE ANIMALS LOVE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 30% of grant income and the top three 70%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
76% 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 PEOPLE ANIMALS LOVE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 96% · 2018 94% · 2019 100% · 2020 30% · 2021 66% · 2022 77% · 2023 68% — 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
20% of PEOPLE ANIMALS LOVE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
PEOPLE ANIMALS LOVE INC draws 89% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $80k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
Against its field
PEOPLE ANIMALS LOVE INC runs a healthier operating margin than half of the 21,616 human services nonprofits its size.
