Overview
Mission
Stricker sunshine rescue ranch is more than just a ranch; it is a rescue where the broken find solace, the neglected rediscover care, and the forgotten are given the chance to shine once more. Here, we dedicate our hearts, hands, and resources to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming horses in need. Every horse that arrives at our gates carries a story. Some have suffered from neglect, others have been abandoned, and many have known nothing but hardship. But through patience, love, and unwavering commitment, we transform their pain into possibility. Our team works tirelessly to nurse these magnificent creatures back to health, to rebuild their trust in humans, and to show them the kindness they have always deserved. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our community, the dedication of our volunteers, and the unwavering support of those who believe in our mission. Every donation, every hour spent tending to these animals, every voice that speaks up for their welfare
What it reported doing in 2024
We have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed 21 equines in the past year. We have also rescued out of bad situations where the equine needed to be euthanized due to medical issues that were not able to be fixed. We have brought many people to our rescue to heal alongside the rescue horses. We are changing lives one at a time. We have many goals to continue to help rescue and rehab equines as well as bring children and veterans to the rescue to heal.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 86% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
