What Pit Ridge Rescue does
Mission
To provide education on the health and welfare for dogs as well as to provide a space for dogs in high kill shelters a place to lean how to heal and be productive members of the community. Through training and community involvement we have lowered the amount of bully breeds in our area shelters.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We were successful in aiding in community education on the proper care, treatment, training, and health of dogs across the US. We were successfully able to place 54 dogs into new homes and assist our community with microchips and spay and neuter allowance. 15 dogs were placed in new areas with a chance for adoptions. 70 dogs in total were placed into our care across the US saving more from high kill shelters that required more care.
$0 spent
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2024 to 2025, from $8k to $804 (−89%).
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 PIT RIDGE RESCUE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $37k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 PIT RIDGE RESCUE’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
PIT RIDGE RESCUE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 79% 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
80% 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 PIT RIDGE RESCUE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 98% · 2022 100% · 2023 83% — 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.
Where its funders are
PIT RIDGE RESCUE draws 79% of its grant income from funders outside Arkansas, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $512 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.
