What White Bird Appaloosa Horse Rescue does
Mission
The White Bird Appaloosa Horse Rescue Rescues, Rehabilitates and Rehomes at risk Appaloosa and other horses. Horses that cannot be adopted are provided permanent sanctuary. The rescue provides community support to those families unable to continue caring for their horses, interacts with local Animal Control officers, and conducts outreach and educational sessions for volunteers and supporters.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Equine Rehabilitation: Feed and Hay, plus supplements for approximately 20 horses. The rescue cared for fewer horses for most of the year than maintained during 2023. Thus the total cost of purchased hay was reduced, but also due to the kindness of a neighbor in donating round bales for the paddocks, and reliance on the rescue's hay field, which, with feed prices staying similar to 2023, shows a sharp decrease in this item over 2023.
$31,233 spentof which $31,233 as grants37% of program spendingEquine Rehabilitation: Includes veterinary care, farrier work, medical supplementation and health care items. Rescue horses arrive in a variety of conditions - elderly, starved, unsound, and with a range of medical problems. In 2024 the rescue continued to care for the remaining 3 of the 2014 unhandled horses, and provide long term care for sanctuary horses, as well as taking in new horses from a variety of sources. The expenses show a rise of 20% for this service compared to 2022, and puts it ahead of Hay and Feed as the most expensive item. Medicine and veterinary costs have once again risen, with a greater proportion of emergency call outs experienced. The rescue has worked with its veterinary to use generic drugs wherever possible. The total includes rehabilitative care and end of life euthanasia when necessary.
$34,228 spentof which $34,228 as grants40% of program spendingEquine Housing: Horses are large, strong animals that are rough on infrastructure such as shelters and fences. The repair and upkeep of facilities and equipment to keep them usable and safe is an ongoing expense. The substantial increase in the cost of this service over 2023 reflects a more demanding year for maintenance and repair.

Keeping a good quality bedding for stalls entails a regular supply of clean, dry shavings. These additional services also include utilities. The cost compared to 2023 has increased slightly, with good housekeeping keeping utility bills and bedding costs within budget.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2020 to 2021, from $32k to $76k (+142%).
How it's funded, over time
