What Wild Horse Connection Corporation does
Mission
To keep the Wild Horses of the Virginia Range free on the range by educating the community about living with our Mustangs and rescuing those that have been removed from the range. We work with the Nevada Department of Agriculture City County Law Enforcement Developers and Land Owners to achieve this. WHC installs fencing gates and cattle guards and provides water resources in the higher range so the horses stay high up and not down on our community streets. We train our rescues so they can be used for therapy and emotional support. We provide emergency resources to those in need. We connect with our community in order to protect the Wild Mustangs by education and awareness.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Care of rescues - Each year horses and foals must be removed from the range for various reasons and require care. In 2025 we continued operating our foal nursery in which we provide 24 7 care for orphaned or abandoned foals. We also took on 25 horses who were seized in a neglect case by Storey County and required extensive rehabilitation and care while awaiting adoption or sanctuary placement. Wild horses live adjacent to and sometimes in areas presenting many potential needs for intervention. Wild horses who are injured or are outside of designated fenced boundaries require a trained rescue services team with proper trucks trailers and equipment. A rescued wild horse needs to be transported to an equine facility for treatment or rehabilitation or relocated to a safe location on the Virginia Range.
$163,995 spent53% of program spendingVeterinary fees and supplies - The wild horses on the Virginia Range live in very rugged terrain with natural dangers. Their territory is also increasingly occupied by people bringing additional hazards from motor vehicles and residential fencing. Veterinary services are needed on a weekly basis along with supplies to provide rehabilitation.

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 2024 to 2025, from $176k to $353k (+101%).
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 WILD HORSE CONNECTION CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

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
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $12k → $25k.
4 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 49% 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 WILD HORSE CONNECTION CORPORATION’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
WILD HORSE CONNECTION CORPORATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
55% 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 WILD HORSE CONNECTION CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 87% · 2023 43% — 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 WILD HORSE CONNECTION CORPORATION's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 50% 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 WILD HORSE CONNECTION CORPORATION's grant income comes from Nevada funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $94k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
