What San Luis Valley Animal Welfare Society Inc does
Mission
The San Luis Valley Animal Welfare Society is in the San Luis Valley of Colorado, near Forbes Ranch in the distant hills. The shelter consists of a total of 17000 sq ft in five high-quality, insulated, metal buildings. All Funds go directly to animal rescue, sheltering, and adoption. We are all volunteers except for one person, who cleans the shelter. Well over 12,000 homeless animals have been rescued and adopted and now have loving homes and good lives thanks to donations. all the people who run our organization are volunteers. Every penny of your donation goes to rescuing, sheltering, and adopting out homeless animals. We have one employee who cleans and cares for rescued animals at our shelter. Rescues and adoptions are done by volunteers. No money goes to administrator salaries. Why adopt from us? 1, we help you to get the right dog for your family. 2, If the dog you adopt isn't right for your family and home - return him/her to us - no questions asked - refund if returned within

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $415k to $528k (+27%).

34% 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 SAN LUIS VALLEY ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY INC.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $38k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
