What Rosies Farm Sanctuary Inc does
Mission
To inspire compassion in the hearts of all people and be the voice for animals by rescuing and rehabilitating farm animals and providing educational programs and advocacy.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Sanctuary: Rosie's operates a sanctuary that rescues and rehabilitates farm animals. For 2025, Rosie's housed 49 total animals: 20 chickens, 5 sheep, 2 cows, 10 pigs, 3 horses, 6 goats, and 3 turkeys. We rescued 1 pig (fostered him and found him a home), 7 chickens, 1 sheep, and 1 horse. We also helped 12 animals find homes. We built three compost systems for all of our organic matter, which saved hundreds of bags that were previously taken to the dump. We use the compost around the property to enrich the soil. Rosie's is a working farm and grew pumpkins in 2025.
$225,959 spent75% of program spendingEducation: Rosie's conducted 150 educational tours of the farm sanctuary with over 5,000 visits comprised of 1,300 adults and 700 children. Rosie's also hosted 25 school visits. Our tours are open to people of all demographics and abilities. We also added 3 new programs to our internship program with 20 students.

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 2022 to 2023, from $3k to $27k (+698%).
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.
86% of Rosies Farm Sanctuary Inc’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. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $10k → $28k.
7 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 97% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Rosies Farm Sanctuary Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 Rosies Farm Sanctuary Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 71% — 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
97% of Rosies Farm Sanctuary 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 $10k that is directly attributable, 74% of it comes from funders outside Maryland, across 6 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $286k 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.
