What Loggerhead Marinelife Center Inc does
Mission
To promote conservation of ocean ecosystems with a special focus on threatened and endangered sea turtles.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Loggerhead marinelife center monitors 9.5 miles of beach, which serves as a critically important nesting habitat for endangered sea turtles. The research department reported 14,951 sea turtle nests and 30,739 non-nesting emergencies in 2024. Approximately 628,225 hatchlings were produced on the beach during the 2024 nesting season. The research department tagged and identified 217 individual nesting sea turtles on local beaches.

Atlantic ocean (kemp's ridley, loggerhead, green, hawksbill, and leatherback) into the hospital. There were 1,041 hatchlings and post-hatchlings, and 220 juveniles or larger. We released 956 turtles after rehabilitation. So, survival rate overall was 76%.

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 2020 to 2021, from $25M to $34M (+36%).
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: 2017 3% · 2018 4% · 2019 4% · 2020 9% · 2021 6% · 2022 16% · 2023 10% · 2024 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
53% of LOGGERHEAD MARINELIFE CENTER INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (68% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of LOGGERHEAD MARINELIFE CENTER INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 223 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
LOGGERHEAD MARINELIFE CENTER INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 17% of grant income, and it takes 10 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 10 funders to its left
41% 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 LOGGERHEAD MARINELIFE CENTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 21% · 2018 21% · 2019 42% · 2020 31% · 2021 38% · 2022 24% · 2023 20% — broadly stable.
“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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 17 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.
