01What it does

What Bunny World Foundation Inc does

Mission

BWF is dedicated to combatting animal cruelty, illegal animal sales, exploitation and neglect of all animals through rescue efforts, public education, investigations, legislation, events, and media attention. In addition, BWF works to reduce rabbit overpopulation and establish rabbits as companion animals. BWF also manages a complex Foster & Adoption Program that is constantly growing to accommodate new rescues.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Our top 3 programs include the prevention of animal cruelty and illegal animal sales, the rescue of rabbits and other animals who are suffering in shelters and on the streets, and the reduction of euthanasia rates at shelters. BWF works to reduce rabbit over population and establish rabbits as companion animals that deserve the same individual rights, level of care, and opportunity for longevity as cats and dogs that live as human companions. BWF manages a complex Foster & Adoption Program that requires constant strenthening and expansion to accomodate new rescues and provide intensive care, medication, supplies, and Spay/Neuter funds. BWF has 150 volunteers/fosters and rescues approximately 1000-1500 abandoned & abused domestic rabbits annually. BWF has been honored with a Top-Rated Award for 2023 & 2024 from Great Nonprofits! BWF received recognition from several organizations in CA and has been featured multiple time in various media presentations.

  2. New in 2019 is the Bunny Chateau a new program being offered by us to the adoptors of our rescued bunnies. It provides boarding and grooming services provided by the volunteers of Bunny World and 100% of the proceeds are used to support the other programs offered by Bunny World. This is an extension of the Rescue Effort as these services are crucial for enhancing longevity, health, and thriving lives of the BWF rescued proteges, as well as for the continued eduction on the importance of companion animals in our society.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $42k → $17k.

3 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 Bunny World Foundation Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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

Bunny World Foundation Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% 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

48% 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 Bunny World Foundation Inc.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $60k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
