Programs
Down the Stretch Ranch celebrated an extraordinary year in 2025, continuing its mission to care for retired thoroughbred racehorses and enrich the lives of its community. The ranch successfully adopted out 4 horses while maintaining an average herd count of 29. The herd roamed and grazed freely across 140 acres of land owned by the McCanna family, supplemented by purchased feed during the colder months. These accomplishments reflect the ranch's unwavering dedication to equine welfare and community impact.

The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $158k to $284k (+80%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $5k → $127k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $6k from one payer (the payer's own filing calls it a related party, largest Reger Family Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money Down the Stretch Ranch raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 Down the Stretch Ranch.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 59% · 2019 55% · 2020 56% · 2021 54% · 2022 56% · 2023 39% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $235k 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.
