What Skagit Animals in Need does
Mission
SAIN prevents and responds to animal cruelty and neglect primarily in support of animal control and law enforcement.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Core Program - Rescue, Rehabilitation and Rehoming. SAIN is an all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to rehabilitating and rehoming large animals and livestock seized in neglect and cruelty cases or released to animal control or law enforcement. Its core program is the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of neglected or abused animals. Once in SAIN custody, animals are placed with a safe foster home, medical and behavioral assessments are performed, and rehabilitation begins. Once an animal is at a healthy weight and up to date on medical care, it is made available for adoption to loving homes. Funds from donations, grants and fundraising events are utilized to pay for facility costs, feed and medical care for horses and other livestock in rehabilitation, and training. Medical costs can often be very steep for seized horses as neglect and abuse often create significant medical conditions. Prior to 2012, Skagit County Law Enforcement was able to send seized horses and other livestock to other counties or organizations at no cost. In 2008, recipient organizations began to suffer financially and were no longer able to accept these animals. Coupled with an increase in…

SAIN launched the Animal Assistance Program in 2020 to help owners maintain care for their animals in times of need while they work toward a sustainable, long-term solution. In 2025, the AAP assisted 86 animals. AAP is an assistance program to help pet owners with unexpected pet related expenses. People should not have to choose between feeding or caring for their beloved animals or paying other necessary bills. AAP assistance is typically used for emergency veterinary care, or to provide pet food during times of unexpected financial hardship. SAIN believes that caring for beloved pets meets the basic human need for love and companionship. In May of 2023, SAIN received an infusion of funds as The Anacortes Animal Relief Fund (AARF) was merged into SAIN's AAP to specifically assist residents in the Anacortes area. In 2025, AAP funds were utilized to assist 35 cats, 48 dogs, 3 horses, and a variety of other animals associated with the significant flooding event of December, 2025. All of these animals have humans who love…

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

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.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5k → $10k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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
SKAGIT ANIMALS IN NEED leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
29% 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 SKAGIT ANIMALS IN NEED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 97% · 2021 95% · 2022 97% · 2023 97% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
SKAGIT ANIMALS IN NEED draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k 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.
