Financial Transparency
Transparency in nonprofits is a very serious issue and we are committed to the practice to ensure our donors, and the public, are aware of how their hard-earned donations and support are used here at Freedom & Whiskey Equine Rescue. Below, you can see our current fiscal year revenue progress as well as the last fiscal year’s breakdown by Rescue Operations, Administrative, and Fundraising costs.
We’re proud to display a Gold Transparency rating from Candid!
Help Us Reach Our Goal
If you are able to help Freedom & Whiskey Equine Rescue reach our $50,000 fundraising goal this year, we would love your support as a recurring donation that will help us each and every month!
We Take 0%
100% of the funds donated and received are used for the rescue, rehabilitation, and sanctuary of the animals here at Freedom & Whiskey Equine Rescue.
We Supplement
Our operating costs often exceed what we receive from donations. We fund everything not met by fundraising to ensure the horses never lack for care or food.
We Work Smarter
Donated funds are precious and put to work feeding and caring for the animals. We seek out and use nonprofit grants and discounts to keep our overhead costs minimal.
2024 Revenue Goal Progress
We have an ambitious goal to raise $50,000 this year! We need your help to achieve it!
Fiscal Year 2023
2023 was the first complete fiscal year since we founded Freedom & Whiskey Equine Rescue. We had zero revenue in 2022. 2023 was a great year getting the rescue started and established and here is how the financials worked out!
Total amount raised through fundraising and donations
Rescue Operations
Rescue operations encompasses the acquisition of horses, their grain and hay, as well as all medical care from vets, farriers, and the equine dentist.
Administrative

Fundraising
In 2023 we ran one fundraising event, a Cornhole tournament that we paid a professional cornhole fundraising company to assist us with.
For tax year 2023, we met the revenue criteria to file a 990 Postcard, which is an abbreviated financial report to the IRS. Future 990 filings will be linked here on this page.
