What Goatapelli Foundation does
Mission
Education, Training, Support and Career opportunities to anyone interest in reconnecting with our living landscape, using grazing animals as living tools to restore abused land/soil/watershed health and consequently, survival and vitality of our culture. Goatapelli provides remote and classroom learning opportunities to develop skills of land rstoration practitioners, beyond production agriculture. Our curriculum consists of regenerative agriculture concepts, principles, and dynamic hands-on experiences delivered by qualified instructors who weave skillful wisdom, knowledge and proven track record of success in applying these principles in unfamiliar, erratic, fast-changing, atmospheric conditions that we are facing. Goatapelli works at all educational levels to offer timely inforamtion in classes that may be coordinated with accredited agencies. Goatapelli promotes governmental policy changes to match new grass roots land management methods while working with glabal allies.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $89k to $2k (−98%).
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.
100% of Goatapelli Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $103k → $18k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 14% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

“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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k 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.
