As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The majestic arrival of 11 rhinos expanding our conservation efforts melorane game reserve from the beloved viewpoint erp.ngo in 2024, our game reserve continued to thrive, offering a safe and protected environment for wildlife. This year, we experienced a deeper connection with the erp game reserve and rhinos that roam it, with no poaching incidents reported on the reserve. Our anti-poaching efforts have created a haven where animals roam freely, reflecting the peace that comes from strong, sustainable protection. Erp has successfully relocated 11 rhinos from a reserve where the threat of poaching put their survival at risk. Now, they roam freely in a protected environment, adding to a growing population safeguarded by erps conservation efforts. Rhino numbers under erps protection have steadily increased, ensuring a more secure future for the species. This achievement didnt come without hurdles. Weeks of planning, preparation, and collaboration would not have been able to come to life if it wasnt for the support of our generous donors and the group elephant 1% contribution. Standing on the reserve that morning, it was clear: every effort was worth it.

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 2018 to 2019, from $626 to $182k (+28934%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
27% 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 ELEPHANTS RHINOS & PEOPLE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 75% · 2020 86% · 2021 66% · 2022 71% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $187k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
