What Polk County Bully Project Inc does
Mission
We are a non-profit 501c3 rescue organization with a small shelter that works to find forever homes for this misunderstood breed. Through local adoption and rescue partnerships we are giving these dogs their chance at a happily ever after. Were dedicated to our goal of reducing euthanasia rates of these dogs in polk county.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Our local shelter was deemed per 2022 statistics as the 1 kill shelter in the state of florida. We are working closely with animal control to change these statistics, ultimately pcbp is working towards a nokill shelter in polk county. Currently, dogs deemed pit bull are rescue only.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Through education and practical care, were changing the stigma that surrounds pit bulls and providing care. Spay and neuter is a huge part of stemming the flow of dogs that come in from the county to the shelter.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $6k to $54k (+798%).
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: 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% 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 POLK COUNTY BULLY PROJECT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 97% · 2021 80% · 2022 97% · 2023 70% — diversifying over time.

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
82% of POLK COUNTY BULLY PROJECT INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $114k that is directly attributable, 67% of it comes from funders outside Florida, across 9 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $529k 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.
