01What it does

What Zeus' Rescues Inc does

Mission

Animal welfare: it is the mission, duty, and purpose of zeus' rescues to eradicate pet homelessness, cruelty, and euthanasia within the new orleans metro area. The organization is further committed to community building and pet education with a focus on children and the elderly.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Our shelter diversion program was implemented in 2017. The goal of this program is to keep animals from ever entering a shelter - ours or a local high-kill shelter. We accomplish this goal by providing discounted or free services including medical care, micro-chipping, free food and grooming. Many times, a companion animal is the only companion for an elderly community member, and it is imperative to keep the companion in the home. This is an effective program and has served numerous economically disadvantaged individuals in our surrounding community. This program is much needed and valued by our community as many community members do not have access to the government funded shelter, even by way of public transportation. This program, by default, is not revenue generating. The expenses in 2022 included rescue supplies and medical care for animals.

  2. Our adoption program was implemented in 2014. The goal of this program is to pull animals from high-kill shelters, cruelty cases and homelessness and get them the medical care they need prior to adoption. Medical care includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm treatment, microchipping and various treatment ranging from amputations to eye removals. This is an effective program and our life saving number continues to increase annually. This program is much needed and valued in our community as companion animals enhance our lives and deserve a second or even third chance. Expenses associated with this program are comprised of rescue supplies, rescue food, and medical care.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $41k → $130k.

7 of 38 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 88% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of ZEUS' RESCUES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 38 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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

ZEUS' RESCUES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

91% 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 ZEUS' RESCUES INC.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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

88% of ZEUS' RESCUES INC'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 $94k that is directly attributable, 72% of it comes from funders outside Louisiana, across 16 states.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $696k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
