What Stand Up for Pits Foundation Inc does
Mission
Sufp foundation's mission includes educating the public about untrue, negative stereotypes about pit bull type dogs (aka 'pibbles') because these misunderstandings foster fear, hate, and ignorance that results in human violence against animals.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Spay neuter angel day is a national initiative fully funded by the sufp foundation which spays and neuters pit bull type dogs in underserved communities. This desperately needed initiative was created in 2016 in loving memory of angel, who inspired the sufp foundation. Since its inception this vital effort has spayed and neutered thousands of pit bull type dogs. Spaying and neutering are real and viable ways to lower shelter intake and kill numbers and since the majority of all dogs in u.s. Shelters are labeled pit bull type dogs we remain dedicated to this program and work tirelessly at growing it. Just one unaltered female and her offspring if not altered can produce an estimated 67,000 dogs over a six year period. Angel day is making a real impact in communities desperate for the help and will help save lives for years to come. In 2023 grants were made to 20 organizations.

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 $543k to $735k (+35%).

93% 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 STAND UP FOR PITS FOUNDATION INC.
