What Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn Inc does
Mission
Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn provides lifelong sanctuary to abused neglected and abandoned farmed and ambassador animals prioritizing those most at risk and least likely to be adopted. As a safety-net sanctuary we focus on the holistic rehabilitation of animals with complex needs offering species-appropriate enrichment companionship and care tailored to each animals history and condition. Animals enjoy a natural mountain environment with fresh produce from small farms seasonal treats hay grain and opportunities to engage in instinctive behaviors. Our rescue and sanctuary work forms the foundation for broader educational and advocacy efforts that promote compassion sustainability and animal welfare.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn provided daily care and feeding for approximately 450 resident sanctuary animals including pigs goats sheep donkeys chickens ducks dogs and feral cats. Each species receives tailored nutrition our pigs enjoy a custom grain blend enriched with fermented barley for longevity while poultry canines and felines receive high-quality species-appropriate diets. A new hay provider delivers and stacks over 50 days of hay per trip reducing labor and improving efficiency. Local farms donate seasonal produce and offer discounts on nutritious but unsellable fruits and vegetables reducing waste while enriching diets. Open-land grazing shelters from sun and storm laundering heat pads transport and fans all support our core mission of care and enrichment. Daily routines include multiple feedings clean water and activities suited to each animals instincts. These quiet repeated acts of care form the living heartbeat of sanctuary life.
$0 spentVeterinary care and special needs supplies accounted for the second largest share of donor-supported expenses. As a safety-net sanctuary Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn accepts animals with urgent chronic or often critical medical needs. Many arrive with untreated injuries advanced illness or congenital conditions. Neuters remain our highest veterinary cost and our greatest preventive value helping stem future suffering. Other care included diagnostics wound management pain control and disease treatment. Special needs funding supported the long-term care of paralyzed mobility-impaired and deformed residents-many of whom require adaptive gear custom bedding supplements and daily medication. With each new arrival we reevaluate care priorities allocating resources with compassion and precision to provide comfort dignity and quality of life for those whove known too little of either.
$0 spentIn response to economic shifts and reduced visibility on traditional fundraising platforms Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn restructured its outreach to focus on storytelling as a primary mode of donor engagement. We published narrative-rich content highlighting cruelty-free environmental stewardship and farmed animal advocacy deepening emotional connection with our supporters. This authentic educational approach helped us reach new audiences and build lasting relationships. In tandem we expanded our cruelty-free fundraising line offering handmade soaps and body products with 100% of proceeds supporting sanctuary operations. These offerings are more than merchandise-theyre mission in a bottle connecting our values to everyday use. Together these efforts brought in a new tier of recurring supporters whose purchases and donations help stabilize income while advancing public understanding of compassionate living.

The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
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.
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 STEAMPUNK FARMS RESCUE BARN INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
