What Saving Sumter's Strays Inc does
Mission
The organization's mission is to save dogs from high kill shelters by providing vetting and rescue placements.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Our primary focus is helping the animals that find themselves in our local, over-crowded open-intake animal control shelter. Our program has grown and evolved in the past couple of years. In addition to rescue networking, we are now responsible for the adoption program at the shelter, as well as providing medical care and other supplies to enhance the care of the animals while they stay at the sheler.

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $96,129.
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 2021 to 2022, from $198k to $238k (+20%).
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: 2018 100% · 2021 17% · 2022 31% · 2023 37% · 2024 51% · 2025 50%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of SAVING SUMTER'S STRAYS INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
30% 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 SAVING SUMTER'S STRAYS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 94% · 2020 99% · 2021 97% · 2022 84% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $44k 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.
