What Home Range Wildlife Research does
Mission
MISSION: To advance wildlife conservation by conducting high-quality research, educating aspiring biologists, and engaging local communities. In the face of vast environmental and social changes, we are committed to wildlife conservation in rigorous field-based science and long-term connection to our landscape. We aim to build a diverse and inclusive community of people that are equipped to tackle our most pressing wildlife conservation challenges.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Lynx-Wildlife Project: We completed our 3rd year of the Lynx Wildlife Research, answering critical questions about how lynx navigate landscape transformed by climate-driven mega-wildfires. In 2024-2025, we collared and tracked 10 Lynx in Okanogan County, and collected important vegetation plots to better understand lynx habitat and movements in burned and unburned environments within the study area. We partnered with several Universities while supporting 2 graduate students, 2 university fellows, and 7 undergraduate interns, whose efforts are advancing our understanding of wildlife and burned landscapes.
$208,787 spent73% of program spendingField Training Courses: In 2024-2025 we trained 62 aspiring biologists from across North America. Thanks to partnerships and grant funds, we provided subsidies and scholarships to 10 participants from LGBTQ+ and Indigenous communities.
$45,253 spent$6,481 earned by the program16% of program spendingHuman-Bear Co-Existance Project: We collected data long walking transections on critical bear food resources and set remote wildlife cameras to document occupancy of black bears for the 3rd field season. We worked with 40 community scientist volunteers to help us collect field data and analyze over 10,000 photos of wildlife occupancy along these transects. Initial analyses show that presence of wildfire and serviceberry abundance are critical indicators for black bears habitat and use in the study area.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $45k to $261k (+486%).
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: 2023 0% · 2024 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of Home Range Wildlife Research’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 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 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $108k → $146k.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Home Range Wildlife Research’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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 concentrated its funding is
Home Range Wildlife Research leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
39% 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 Home Range Wildlife Research.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 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.
Where its funders are
91% of Home Range Wildlife Research's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $145k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
