What Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue Inc does
Mission
GUARDIANS OF FLORIDA ANIMAL RESCUE INC was founded by a group of professional women on 4/27/21 who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of animals who have no voice, no hope, and no GUARDIAN. See Schedule O for additional information.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2025, our fourth full year of operations, we rescued 895 neglected, abused and/or unwanted animals from an uncertain and likely tragic fate and found homes for 841 animals to give them their much-deserved second chance at true happiness. During this period, we took on many severe medical cases where animals had no chance at any quality of life, or even a life at all, without a rescue determined to find a way to pay for surgeries, hospitalization stays, and rehabilitation. We continue to establish and grow relationships with local veterinarians and spay/neuter clinics, significantly grew our volunteer and donor base and with the addition of instore cat habitats in Petco and PetSupermarker, we expanded our cat rescue and adoption program. Our social media presence on Facebook and Instagram continues to grow and allows us to highlight our mission, our challenges, our accomplishments and most importantly, our animals.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $713k to $1.6M (+125%).
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.
66% of Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (74% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $9k → $38k.
6 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 76% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
86% 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 Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 88% · 2023 42% — 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
76% of Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue 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 $68k that is directly attributable, 82% of it comes from funders outside Florida, across 8 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $212k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
