What Sante Dor Foundation does
Mission
Sante DOr is a no-kill animal adoption center serving the Los Angeles community, predominantly staffed by volunteers.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Sant DOr Foundation rescues and rehabilitates homeless and abandoned animals in Los Angeles. Every animal that comes through our doors receives medical care, unconditional love, and a safe place to land. Those who are not adopted will always have a home with us.We are more than a rescue. Our doors are open to the community and we welcome walk-in visitors to meet our resident animals, learn about our programs and understand the animal crisis being faced in Los Angeles. We strongly advocate for low cost medical care, support independent rescuers where we can, and serve our community through TNR, adoption counseling and outreach during time of hardship and emergency.Through these efforts Sante DOr is not just saving lives but building a more compassionate community for animals in need.During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, 279 animals found forever homes.
$441,358 spent$51,858 earned by the program93% of program spendingThe goal of the TNR Program is to stabilize and improve the quality of life and eventually reduce the population of feral and community cats. By preventing new litters of kittens and addressing the health of existing cats, TNR can lead to a more humane and manageable situation with improved life with less suffering, less competition for resources and less hardship. Our volunteer trappers extend their skills to trap ill and injured community cats and help them get treatment in addition to spay/neuter surgery. This program helps prevent overpopulation in the feline colonies and reduces the strain on shelters and animal rescues. This year brought a new challenge as the most popular spay/neuter clinic in the city closed their facility. There was a lapse in available appointments, but new clinics are opening making this a temporary lull.During the fiscal year ended February 28,2026 237 cats were trapped, 203 were released back to their colonies and 23 were homed through adoption with Sante DOr and an additional 10 were homed through other rescues or their original feeders.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2020 to 2021, from $203k to $335k (+65%).
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: 2022 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
51% of SANTE DOR FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $11k → $140k.
10 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 41% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
SANTE DOR FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 39% of grant income and the top three 58%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
41% 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 SANTE DOR FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 51% · 2018 54% · 2019 53% · 2020 28% · 2021 35% · 2022 57% · 2023 53% — growing more concentrated.
“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
35% of SANTE DOR FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% 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
81% of SANTE DOR FOUNDATION's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $236k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
