What Full Circle Farm Sanctuary Inc does
Mission
Full Circle Farm Sanctuary is a 501(c) that exists to provide safety, dignity, and lifelong care to animals who were once farmed, discarded, neglected, abused, or needing more care than previous circumstances could provide. Public education focus on a vegan lifestyle is among the most effective ways to reduce animal suffering, lower environmental impact, address food insecurity, and support human health. FCFS operates under a deliberately lean, board-led governance model designed to support long-term stability and accountability. This structure ensures continuity, transparency, and that donated funds directly support resident care, infrastructure, and mission execution.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In recognition of excellence in animal care, ethical practices, and long-term sustainability, FCFS became the first farmed-animal sanctuary in Georgia to earn accreditation from the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS). In 2025, FCFS was also awarded the international Outstanding Farmed Animal Sanctuary Awardmaking us the only sanctuary to ever receive both honors in the same year, a reflection of sustained diligence and accountability in practice.

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 2022 to 2023, from $1.5M to $1.3M (−16%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Full Circle Farm Sanctuary Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $660 → $48k.
4 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 71% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% 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 Full Circle Farm Sanctuary Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 51% · 2021 90% · 2022 41% · 2023 65% — 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.
How long its funders stay
60% of Full Circle Farm Sanctuary Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% give in more than one year at all.
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.
Where its funders are
71% of Full Circle Farm Sanctuary Inc'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 $49k that is directly attributable, 98% of it comes from funders outside Georgia, across 8 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $122k 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. 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.
