What Liberty Wildlife Inc does
Mission
Liberty Wildlife nurtures the nature of Arizona by providing quality wildlife rehabilitation, environmental education and conservation consultation services for the community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Rehabilitation, research and conservation is dedicated to solving human/wildlife conflicts, conducting scientific research as well as providing specialized services, care and rehabilitation for native wildlife. Rescue and transportation teams go out into the field and bring in animals in need for medical services, daily care, and rehabilitation. The organization assists over 9,900 native and non-native animals with a release rate of 48% to 52%, which is above the national norm. This includes 193 different avian, mammal and reptile species. The organization's programs include hawks and eagles in flighted training programs and releasing numerous native wildlife back into the wild. Over 700 volunteers have participated in programs to care for, feed, and rehabilitate wildlife. The organization uses dedicated staff and contracted biologists to respond to challenges pertaining to wildlife.

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.
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 $11M to $11M (+5%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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 8 funders to 20 funders, grant income rose $48k → $182k.
10 of 50 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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 Liberty Wildlife Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 50 funders by total. 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
Liberty Wildlife Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
32% 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 Liberty Wildlife Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 71% · 2019 28% · 2020 54% · 2021 52% · 2022 53% · 2023 28% — 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
38% of Liberty Wildlife Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
Liberty Wildlife Inc draws 59% of its grant income from funders outside Arizona, across 13 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $501k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
