POW helps these state licensed rehabilitators with funding for medicines, food, and enclosures to care for their sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife patients. POW also encourages and helps people receive their state wildlife rehabilitator licenses by paying for their expensive rabies vaccine which is necessary for their life saving work.

Beaver dams can also cause flooding and damage to roads and infrastructure, and many Vermont towns will trap and kill beavers to stop the damage.POW has worked with numerous Vermont towns to stop the needless killing of this apex species by helping to pay for the installation of water control devices which stop the flooding and destruction of roads, bridges, and other infrastructures.

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 2021 to 2022, from $186k to $287k (+54%).
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.
96% of Protect Our Wildlife Vermont’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. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
46% 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 Protect Our Wildlife Vermont.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 91% · 2020 100% · 2021 98% · 2022 76% · 2023 73% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $86k 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.
