01What it does

What Safe Harbor Farm Inc does

Mission

SHF's SMILE! Project provides practical information (both written & via videos) about canine behavior for shelter & rescue personnel, veterinarians, boarding staff, trainers and dog-owners, so they can better help at-risk dogs. SHF volunteers maintain the Dragonfly Dog Park & Nature Trails and care for sanctuary goats, birds, turtles, cats & dogs. They also maintain a teaching apiary, and they rescue at-risk honeybee colonies.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Canine behavior outreach and education via SHF's SMILE! Project. Our canine behavior book continues to be recommended by veterinarians, shelters, boarding facilities and trainers, and its sale raises funds to care for SHF sanctuary animals. Our free YouTube videos include both taped conference seminars and short presentations on common canine issues.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 SAFE HARBOR FARM INC’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.

Where its funders are

100% of SAFE HARBOR FARM 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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $70 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.
