Programs
Vieques Humane Society operates the only weekly veterinary clinic on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico, serving both shelter animals and the broader community. During the fiscal year, VHS delivered 1,586 clinical procedures, including approximately 101 spay/neuter surgeries (incorporating the organization's Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return-Home program for community cats), 480+ wellness and vaccination appointments, surgical procedures, dental care, wound and infection treatment, emergency care, and diagnostic imaging. The organization substantially expanded its diagnostic and surgical capacity during the year.

Approximately 104 animals were adopted directly into homes during the year, comprising adoptions to Vieques residents, Puerto Rico main-island residents, and visitors who took animals home after their stay. The organization successfully managed a multi-month feline ringworm outbreak from July through November 2024 by implementing quarantine and treatment protocols that preserved the lives and adoptability of nineteen affected cats and kittens. The organization also advanced its operational capacity during the year. Shelter enrichment produced a publicly accessible library of animal training videos hosted on the VHS website. Representative outcomes during the year included the placement of a long-term resident senior pit bull…

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 2024 to 2025, from $332k to $478k (+44%).
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 1% · 2021 1% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
69% of VIEQUES HUMANE SOCIETY & ANIMAL RESCUE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).

4 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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.
How concentrated its funding is
VIEQUES HUMANE SOCIETY & ANIMAL RESCUE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
70% 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 VIEQUES HUMANE SOCIETY & ANIMAL RESCUE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 55% · 2019 32% · 2020 55% · 2021 48% · 2022 33% · 2023 32% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

How long its funders stay
33% of VIEQUES HUMANE SOCIETY & ANIMAL RESCUE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
VIEQUES HUMANE SOCIETY & ANIMAL RESCUE INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Puerto Rico, across 10 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $164k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
