What Spay Neuter Project of Park County does
Mission
The organization was formed approximately 25 years ago to reduce animal overpopulation in rural montana, centered in park county/city of livingston. Park county is located at the northeast entrance to yellowstone national park. The area is primarily rural and economically disadvantaged, based primarily in ranching, farming and tourism industries. Many low income pet owners are unable to provide proper neutering or vaccination services for their pets, and since a large majority of pets in this area are free- roaming, many of these companion animals end up reproducing or getting sick from easily preventable diseases. The organization seeks to address these issues in three key ways. The first is through the clinic program, where low cost or free neutering is performed with paid veterinarians and many community volunteers at community facilities (such as the fairgrounds or civic center). The second is the shuttle program, whereby volunteers transport the animals to actual veterinary facili
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2024, the spay neuter project altered and vaccinated 514 animals: 417 cats through clinics and cost-share vouchers and 97 dogs through cost-share vouchers only. Six cat spay/neuter clinics were held in 2024 at the park county fairgrounds in livingston, mt, with veterinary and surgical support provided by dr. Amy lamm of vet-2-go, based out of billings. Local veterinary clinics who participated in our cost-share voucher program in 2024 by providing spay-neuter services were colmey veterinary hospital and livingston veterinary hospital, both located in park county; crazy mountain veterinary service in meagher county; and all creatures veterinary service in sweet grass county. In addition to owner-client donations to clinics and the cost-share voucher program, in 2024 the spay neuter project received a grant of 5,000 from the sands memorial foundation and raised funds through participation in the park county community foundation (pccf) annual give-a-hoot program. In 2024 the spay neuter project received 18,009 in community donations and matching pccf funds through this program. Since becoming a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization in 2014, the Spay Neuter Project of Park County has…

The organization over time
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.
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 $10k to $19k (+88%).
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: 2020 45% · 2021 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
66% 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 SPAY NEUTER PROJECT OF PARK COUNTY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 57% · 2020 73% · 2021 73% · 2022 76% · 2023 77% — diversifying over time.

Where its funders are
66% of SPAY NEUTER PROJECT OF PARK COUNTY's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $44k that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from Montana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $84k 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.
