What Puget Sound Goat Rescue And Adoption does
Mission
Puget Sound Goat Rescue is a charity that rescues goats from a variety of situations where they are unwanted, mistreated, neglected or abused. The goats are cared for at the rescue until they are ready to be adopted to permanent, loving homes.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Since its inception in 2001, over 2,500 goats have been rescued, with an average of nearly 200 per year in the last two years. During 2024, 127 goats were adopted, and over 100 goats were housed into 2025. In 2024, our organization has continued to rescue more goats in worse health than in prior years and needed more time to recover, and this increased the time we had to keep the goats with us. We are rescuing more adult goats and spreading our work throughout the year. Baby goat season is a specific time of year, and they come to us in the spring.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2022 to 2023, from $62k to $1.4M (+2197%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year

From the IRS filings of Puget Sound Goat Rescue And Adoption’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
Puget Sound Goat Rescue And Adoption leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
94% 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 Puget Sound Goat Rescue And Adoption.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 81% · 2021 77% · 2022 44% · 2023 38% — 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
50% of Puget Sound Goat Rescue And Adoption's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 67% 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
64% of Puget Sound Goat Rescue And Adoption'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 $58k that is directly attributable, 96% of it comes from funders outside Washington, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $102k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
