01What it does

What S O S Animal Adoption Center does

Mission

The SOS Animal Adoption Center is a no-kill dog and cat rescue. After the animals are rescued, they are seen by a veterinarian. If they are not neutered, they are at that time, made current on vaccinations, microchipped, and then housed in our facility, which can accommodate approximately 60 dogs and 35 cats. When an appropriate adopter is located, the animal is released to that individual.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. The only program service that we offer is the rescuing and adopting out of lost and/or abandoned dogs and cats. Our expenses are limited to veterinary bills, and our revenue consists of adoption fees.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $10k → $2k.

1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% 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 S O S ANIMAL ADOPTION CENTER’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

S O S ANIMAL ADOPTION CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 S O S ANIMAL ADOPTION CENTER.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k 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.
