What Native Songbird Care & Conservation does
Mission
Native Songbird Care & Conservation is dedicated to the conservation of native songbirds through rehabilitation and release back to the wild, educational outreach, and community engagement.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Each year, we care for approximately 1,000 songbirds of 70+ different species. Nearly 80% of our patients are received April through August, the Baby Bird Season. We provide life-saving care to injured and orphaned songbirds seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. Our goal is to restore our patients back to their full health and return them to their free and wild lives. We are a specialty hospital for native songbirds. We are the only wildlife rehabilitation facility in Northern California dedicated exclusively to the care of native songbirds. Most of our patients are received from our Sonoma County community, but we also serve the entire greater Bay Area and beyond.

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 2023 to 2024, from $29k to $52k (+84%).
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.
100% of NATIVE SONGBIRD CARE & CONSERVATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $10k → $17k.
3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 60% 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 NATIVE SONGBIRD CARE & CONSERVATION’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
NATIVE SONGBIRD CARE & CONSERVATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
60% 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 NATIVE SONGBIRD CARE & CONSERVATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 90% · 2018 100% · 2019 97% · 2020 61% · 2021 80% · 2022 96% · 2023 58% — 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
60% of NATIVE SONGBIRD CARE & CONSERVATION'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 $39k that is directly attributable, 87% of it comes from funders outside California, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $58k 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.
