What Cooper Ridge Incorporated does
Mission
The Cooper Ridge Farm organization is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with intellectual, physical, and emotional disabilities through Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT).We believe in the power of the human-animal bond to connect, nurture, and heal people of all abilities. Through our customized, hands-on programs, participants engage in structured farm-based learning guided by certified professionals and enriched by meaningful interactions with our animal partners. Our approach provides a unique and effective way to work on traditional therapy goals (such as those in speech-language, physical, occupational, and applied behavioral therapies).We proudly offer an alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar therapy services to the CSRA. In addition we also offer employment opportunities to individuals with disabilities through various grant funding sources.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $57k to $49k (−15%).

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $500 → $24k.
2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 98% 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 COOPER RIDGE INCORPORATED’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
COOPER RIDGE INCORPORATED leans on a few funders — its largest provides 87% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 COOPER RIDGE INCORPORATED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 96% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
Where its funders are
98% of COOPER RIDGE INCORPORATED'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 $2k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Georgia, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $85k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
