What Spca of Tennessee does
Mission
Our mission at the SPCA of Tennessee is to provide and promote the resources and programs needed to help animals in the state. Helping pets in need through our fostering program adoption, education, rehabilitation, spay and neuter and the vet care that is needed as well as building a strong community outreach to create more awareness where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness. The SPCA of Tennessee help rescue, rehabilitate and re-home abused, unwanted and abandoned animals. We never discriminate on the basis of health, age or breed, we believe all animals deserve a second chance. By involving and educating the community, SPCA of Tennessee raises public awareness regarding homeless animals and the benefit of adopting an animal in need.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2024 to 2025, from $9k to $198k (+2091%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
68% 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 SPCA OF TENNESSEE.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $630 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.
