What Rogue Valley Humane Society does
Mission
The Rogue Valley Humane Society provides compassionate care for stray unwanted displaced and abandoned animals and works toward ending pet overpopulation so that there will be no more homeless pets. We are committed to placing every healthy adoptable animal in a loving lifetime home teaching responsible pet guardianship and maintaining community spay-neuter programs.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Provide shelter and care for animals in transition including health care spaying and neutering before adoption and training to increase adoptability. Work with other organizations to rescue and rehabilitate animals in hoarding situations. Educate the public about compassion and responsibility towards all animals. RVHS is also committed to finding the means to expand the capacity of our facility in order to accommodate the cats and dogs that are turned away because of insufficient space.

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 $1.3M to $2.2M (+67%).
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: 2020 1% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
82% of ROGUE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (74% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $19k → $48k.
5 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% 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 ROGUE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 14 of 15 funders by total. 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
ROGUE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
84% 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 ROGUE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 94% · 2019 100% · 2020 57% · 2021 45% · 2022 78% · 2023 34% — 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
40% of ROGUE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% 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
73% of ROGUE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY'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 $100k that is directly attributable, 87% of it comes from funders outside Oregon, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $274k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
