| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a DIRECT ANIMAL CARE SERVICES | CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4a (1 OF 1) CLEVELAND AMORY BLACK BEAUTY RANCH (CABBR) IN MURCHISON, TX IS A 1,437 ACRE SANCTUARY FOR NEARLY 700 ANIMALS, REPRESENTING 44 SPECIES, WHO WERE RESCUED FROM DIRE SITUATIONS. RESCUED ANIMAL RESIDENTS RANGE FROM EXOTIC TO DOMESTIC SPECIES, INCLUDING HORSES AND BURROS, CATTLE AND BISON, DEER, PIGS, TORTOISES, BIG CATS, BEARS, KANGAROOS AND SEVERAL PRIMATE SPECIES. ANIMALS RESCUED FROM CRUELTY CASES OR OTHER FORMS OF ABUSE RECEIVE VETERINARY CARE AND A PERMANENT SAFE HAVEN. IN 2022, CABBR WAS ABLE TO ACCEPT 20 NEW RESIDENTS INCLUDING TWO COATIMUNDI, TWO EMUS, A POTBELLY PIG AND TWO DUCKS, ALL VICTIMS OF A SHUTTERED ROADSIDE ZOO; ONE CHICKEN; FOUR ANGUS COWS SEIZED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT IN A NEGLECT CASE; AND EIGHT AT RISK HORSES, ONE OF WHICH IS A WILD ASSATEAGUE ISLAND PONY CABBR WAS ASKED TO TAKE BY THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE BECAUSE HE HAD BECOME INCREASINGLY AGGRESSIVE TO PARK VISITORS AFTER BEING HIGHLY HABITUATED TO HUMAN FOOD. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN 2022 INCLUDED A NEW DEDICATED FEEDING AREA WITH PENS TO BETTER ACCOMMODATE FEEDING CUSTOM DIETS AND MEDICATIONS TO OUR SPECIAL NEEDS HORSES. THE EQUINE CENTER AT CLEVELAND AMORY BLACK BEAUTY RANCH CONTINUES TO PROVIDE HORSE TRAINING TO EQUINE RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY VIA ITS INNOVATIVE PROGRAM, FOREVER FOUNDATION. BECAUSE THIS PROGRAM IS PRIMARILY AN ONLINE PLATFORM FOR LEARNING AND TRACKING TRAINING PROGRESS, PARTICIPATION REMAINED STRONG DESPITE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. FOREVER FOUNDATION UTILIZES A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO TRAINING THROUGH TRUST, COMMUNICATION AND LEADERSHIP AND HAS BECOME A NATIONAL RESOURCE FOR ASSISTING EQUINE FACILITIES WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR OWN TRAINING PROGRAMS. THE FOREVER FOUNDATION TRAINING ENHANCES THE SKILLS NEEDED TO REHABILITATE AND WORK WITH DIFFICULT HORSES, EXPANDING THE OVERALL CAPACITY OF GROUPS TO TAKE IN EQUINES WITH PAST TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES. RESCUED HORSES WITH FOUNDATIONAL TRAINING ARE FAR MORE ADOPTABLE, AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF LONG-TERM ADOPTION SUCCESS IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. IN 2022, THE PROGRAM HELPED MORE THAN 2,000 HORSES. DUCHESS SANCTUARY IN OAKLAND OR IS A 1,120-ACRE FACILITY ESTABLISHED IN 2008 TO CARE FOR FORMERLY ABUSED, EXPLOITED, AND NEGLECTED EQUINES. MARES RESCUED FROM THE PREGNANT MARE URINE (PMU) INDUSTRY AND THEIR OFFSPRING COMPRISE A LARGE PART OF THE HERD AT THE SANCTUARY. BLM MUSTANGS AND OTHER HORSES AND DONKEYS RESCUED FROM POTENTIAL SLAUGHTER AND VARIOUS DIRE SITUATIONS MAKE UP THE BALANCE OF THE EQUINE POPULATION. DUCHESS ALSO SERVES AS A WILDLIFE HABITAT WHERE THE EQUINE SHARE ACREAGE WITH LARGE FREE ROAMING HERDS OF ELK, DEER AND OTHER NATIVE WILDLIFE. IN 2022, THE SANCTUARY COMPLETED PROJECTS TO IMPROVE FIRE SAFETY AND CONTINUED BUILDING ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO EXPAND ITS EQUINE GRADUATED CARE PROGRAM TO CONSISTENTLY PROVIDE EXEMPLARY CARE OF ITS AGING POPULATION OF 165 EQUINES. RAVS (RURAL AREA VETERINARY SERVICES) HAS BEEN A FUND FOR ANIMALS PROGRAM SINCE 2018. RAVS PROVIDES ESSENTIAL ANIMAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN REMOTE COMMUNITIES WHERE POVERTY AND GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION MAKE REGULAR VETERINARY SERVICES INACCESSIBLE, PRIMARILY ON NATIVE AMERICAN RESERVATIONS IN AZ, ND, SD, AND WA. IN 2022, THE IMPACT ON VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES OF THE COVID-19 CRISIS AND RISING PRICES CONTINUED TO SHINE A LIGHT ON THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL BARRIERS TO VETERINARY CARE FAMILIES IN THESE COMMUNITIES FACE. IN-PERSON VETERINARY CARE CLINICS RETURNED TO PRE-PANDEMIC SCHEDULES WITH 24 FIELD CLINICS AND RAVS CONTINUED TO WORK REMOTELY WITH TRIBAL PARTNERS TO ADDRESS ADDITIONAL URGENT ANIMAL CARE NEEDS. IN TOTAL, 8,678 ANIMALS RECEIVED MEDICAL CARE WITH AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF $1.6 MILLION IN VETERINARY SERVICES AND 1,316,000 LBS. OF PET FOOD WERE DISTRIBUTED TO FAMILIES IN NEED. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b HUMANE EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY | CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4b (1 OF 1) THE FUND'S PROGRAMS PROVIDE CAPTIVATING EXPERIENCES VIA PERSONALIZED TOURS, INTERN AND EXTERN PROGRAMS FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS AND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR VISITORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. GUESTS LEARN ABOUT ANIMAL PROTECTION ISSUES RELATING TO FACTORY FARMING, WILDLIFE AND HABITAT PROTECTION, ANIMALS IN RESEARCH, HORSE SLAUGHTER, AND OTHER PRESSING CHALLENGES. IN-PERSON EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY PROGRAMS REMAINED THWARTED TO SOME EXTENT BY COVID-19 IN 2022; HOWEVER, THE CLEVELAND AMORY BLACK BEAUTY RANCH PROVIDED ANIMAL CARE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO 19 INTERNS WHO PROVIDED 7,332 HOURS, A ONE YEAR CLINICAL VETERINARY INTERN, AND 11 VOLUNTEERS WHO WORKED 671 HOURS. CABBR ALSO WELCOMED MORE THAN 50 VISITORS TO THE SANCTUARY FOR PERSONAL EDUCATIONAL TOURS. THE RANCH IS HOME TO ANIMALS RESCUED FROM THE EXOTIC PET TRADE, AND THE FUND CONTINUED TO ADVOCATE FOR LEGISLATION TO BAN PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF BIG CATS AND DANGEROUS WILD ANIMALS. THE RAVS (RURAL AREA VETERINARY SERVICES) PROGRAM TRAINS VETERINARY STUDENTS IN ESSENTIAL CLINICAL SKILLS AND A HUMANE ETHIC TO PREPARE AND INSPIRE THEM TO INCORPORATE COMMUNITY SERVICE IN THEIR CAREERS TO ADDRESS THE GROWING GAP IN ACCESS TO CARE. VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS ARE ENGAGED IN EDUCATION AND MEANINGFUL SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES THAT IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS AND ENCOURAGE ONGOING INVOLVEMENT IN ANIMAL PROTECTION ISSUES. IN 2022, RAVS TEACHING CLINICS PROVIDED HANDS-ON FIELD TRAINING TO 1,234 VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS AND 994 VETERINARY STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS WERE REACHED VIA VIRTUAL TRAINING LABS, WEBINARS AND EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH SESSIONS TO EXPAND SKILLS AND AWARENESS OF ACCESS TO CARE ISSUES. BY SHARING RESOURCES AND TRAINING OTHERS, RAVS IS HELPING THOUSANDS MORE ANIMALS RECEIVE THE CARE THEY NEED. IN ADDITION TO THE VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS, 240 FIELD CLINIC VOLUNTEERS PROVIDED 18,480 HOURS OF SERVICE. THE WORK OF THE FUND FOR ANIMALS DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND, WITH ALL OF ITS EMOTIONAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND SOCIETAL BENEFITS.
