What Messinger Woods Wildlife Care and Education Center Inc does
Mission
to achieve excellence in the field of wildlife rehabilitation and to promote public awareness and education in order to preserve it
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Approx 215 uncompensated volunteers operated our state-of-the-art wildlife hospital in Holland NY under the supervision of veterinarians. This year approx 731 animals were treated at the hospital or home cared for by the volunteers, including rabbits, squirrels, opossum, geese, turkey, song birds, hawks, owls, woodchucks, woodpeckers, turtles, mink, weasels, woodpeckers, heron and more. Numerous birds of prey were rehabilitated in the hospital complexes two large flight cages before release, the larger flight cage being 165 feet long x 35 feet wide x 40 feet high and approved by the US Fish and Wildlife Dept for treatment of bald eagles (1 of 3 in NY State). 5 bald eagles were rehabilitated, exercised, and released this year. These unique flight cages allowed MW to support other wildlife groups, including Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. This year there were numerous seminars or talks. Public assistance via phone logged 1484 calls, although numerous other calls went unlogged because of time.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $563k to $674k (+20%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
65% 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 MESSINGER WOODS WILDLIFE CARE AND EDUCATION CENTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 53% · 2021 50% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
65% of MESSINGER WOODS WILDLIFE CARE AND EDUCATION CENTER 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 $1k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
