What Bunnies on the Bayou Inc does
Mission
Bunnies on the Bayou, Inc. is a volunteer-run nonprofit that provides grants to 501(c)(3) organizations that provide assistance to persons with life-threatening illnesses or in crisis and to promote a positive image of the LGBT community through educational and art programs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Over a span of 45 years, Bunnies on the Bayou has developed into a fixture of charity and advocacy in the Greater Houston area for LGBT-focused programs and organizations. With the help of the community and its sponsors, it has been able to assist multiple groups every year. In the last 12 years, Bunnies has raised more than $1,600,000 to assist local non-profits, support and strengthen important cultural and outreach programs, provide critical health care services, and encourage life-changing educational opportunities. The organization raises money through a series of community events throughout the year which culminates every Easter Sunday at Bunnies on the Bayou, the largest outdoor cocktail party in Texas.

The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $60k to $40k (−33%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Bunnies on the Bayou Inc.

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.
