Overview

Mission

Forever Morgans (FM) is an all volunteer agency whose sole purpose is as a resource for Morgan horses in need. In 2024 FM rescued 5 horses and adopted out 4 horses. Horses go through evaluations to see where placement is best. Adopters go through reference checks. Horses are maintained in foster homes or at a boarding barn until released to an approved adopter. The majority of expenses are for the medical care, transportation, boarding, and farrier services.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, FM saved 5 horses from slaughter. Four horses were placed with approved adoptive homes. Rescued horses from previous years continued to be fostered.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
