The Organization has a grassroots base of more than 800,000 followers and supporters, which continues to grow through public education and outreach, an ambassador program, and social media advertising.The Organization employs cutting edge advocacy platforms to communicate and educate supporters about important policy issues affecting wild horses and burros, and to empower them to have a voice in these matters through easy-to-use-and-share action alerts and petitions. The Organizations media outreach program has established the Organization as the go to source for information on wild horse and burro protection, educates about alternatives to the governments inhumane and unsustainable practices of rounding up and removing thousands of these iconic animals from public lands every year. Due to a strong grassroots base, attempts in Congress to overturn the ban on slaughtering Americas cherished wild horses and burros have been defeated. Also, the Organization acts as a public watchdog over the U.S Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the agencies responsible for managing the nations federally protected wild horse and burro herds. The Organization is often the only member of the public present at BLM and USFS wild horse and burro roundups, where its humane observers document the consequences of this brutal management approach while advocating onsite for more humane treatment and adherence to animal welfare guidelines. The Organizations team investigates federal wild horse and burro management programs, utilizing the Freedom of Information Act, State Open Records Law, and other investigative techniques to uncover abuse, corruption, and violations of law. The Organizations 2020-2021 investigation of the BLMs Adoption Incentive Program resulted in a prominent New York Times expose that exposed the program as a pipeline to slaughter for hundreds of wild horses and burros every year. 372001 17076 Habitat Protection & Implementation of Humane Management Strategies (Field Programs)The Organization implements the worlds largest wild horse fertility control program in Nevadas Virginia Range under a Cooperative Agreement with the State of Nevada. The program aims to reduce population growth in this historic 3,000-horses population whose habitat is rapidly shrinking due to development, and to provide an alternative to roundups and removals, which would result in slaughter of these cherished animals. The Organization also mentors, trains and equips other humane fertility control programs implemented by local NGOs to protect other herds in the West. These programs are providing a model for humane wild horse management by demonstrating that this approach is viable, effective, and fiscally responsible. At the same time, the Organization is protecting wild horse and burro habitat through the American Wild Horse Conservancy Land Trust, whose mission is to acquire and enhance habitat through land purchases. 186101 Legislative and Agency Outreach (Government Relations)The Organization works on Capitol Hill to cultivate increasing support for wild horse and burro protection amongst members of the House and Senate. The Organization actively educates members about the need to reform the current federal management program, and provides tools needed to become advocates for reform. The Organizations fertility control program results and the alternative management framework provide legislators with a strong scientific, economic, and humane platform to advocate for change. In 2020, working with coalition partners on Capitol Hill, the Organization achieved House passage of the first pro-wild horse legislation in Congress in over a decade. The appropriations amendment to require the BLM to spend funds on humane fertility control as an alternative to cruel and costly roundups was hailed as a breakthrough that "signals a new chapter for the treatment of horses and burros," according to veteran Nevada journalist John L. Smith. Support for this approach continues to build in Congress in 2021. The Organization also works with oversight committees to build the case for policy and legislative change to enhance wild horse protection. 239033 22500 1240496 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true false true false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false true 11 0 true 11 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 5 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Suzanne Roy 9196979389 PO Box 1733 Davis CA 95617 Suzanne Roy Secretary & ED 40.00 0.00 X X 85340 0 4926 Ellie Price President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dustin Brown Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Stephanie Zill Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Hake Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alicia Goetz Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 85340 4926 0 false false false Mad River Communications Inc PO Box 4 Wittman MD 21676 digital communication 136500 1 142954 10000 2564354 2717308 0 493 493 0 0 0 0 20900 142954 14060 6840 6840 0 0 Merchandise Sales 934 934 Other Income 418 418 1352 2725993 934 7751 X 39576 39576 0 0 0 90266 63186 13540 13540 0 440587 300546 15855 124186 0 18551 13337 596 4618 40221 28756 2287 9178 0 2073 2073 9280 9280 113500 113500 0 0 191890 163057 28833 263439 234678 6822 21939 3442 179 3263 9382 5921 3461 0 2380 2380 34147 33376 596 175 0 0 0 0 10564 10564 18954 3439 14418 1097 Field Expenses 83275 83275 Litigation Expenses 77273 77273 Dues, fees, other charges 53361 1459 7599 44303 Other Expenses 37852 34089 3763 44849 44849 1584862 1240496 96497 247869 285498 803038 826930 1500432 13681 243193 0 0 0 0 0 1142 700 93501 26183 33500 67318 0 0 0 0 0 1160751 2614681 22215 85863 249151 22215 335014 X 1138536 2279667 1138536 2279667 1160751 2614681 1141131 X false true X true false X 488233 1018647 1278824 1445148 2717308 6948160 0 0 488233 1018647 1278824 1445148 2717308 6948160 1096428 5851732 170 404 353 579 493 1999 0 7337 6840 14177 6964336 283490 0.84020 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 38667 119582 158249 1082247 1240496 199050 49763 false 179416 190571 200975 199050 770012 1155018 161713 42654 198557 158249 561173 44854 47643 50244 49763 192504 288756 81832 23700 25712 38667 169911 88539 23555 64984 4962 2628 2334 67318 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from California franchise taxes under similar state provisions.

In Nevadas Virginia Range, the Organizations Foal Rescue Fund has supported the rescue of dozens of orphaned and injured babies and conducts diversionary feeding programs that are keeping wild horses safe and sustaining them in times of extreme drought. The Organizations General Rescue Fund has helped save hundreds of wild horses and burros from being shipped to slaughter plants in Canada and Mexico.

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Science InitiativesThe Organization is working to bolster the scientific literature on wild horse ecology and humane management alternatives for wild herds, while also harnessing technology to facilitate both humane management and study of wild horse and burro herds. In consultation with wildlife ecologists and economists, the Organization developed an alternative framework for wild horse and burro management that would create sustainable herds and healthy habitats, which offers cost benefits. The Organization also partnered with the University of Pretoria School of Veterinary Medicine, which has expertise in fertility control management of wildlife, including wild equids and elephants, to study the Organizations Virginia Range fertility control program. The analysis will document the safety and efficacy of the program and answer key questions about the behavior and welfare of this free-roaming horse population.
