What does is mean for us to be a nonprofit organization?
Fundamentally it means that we at Rescue Ranch Animal Sanctuary use our resources exclusively to further our charitable mission and vision.
In order to be called a nonprofit our organization has to live up to the rigorous standards as set by the IRS and State of Colorado (Rescue Ranch Animal Sanctuary is based in Colorado but operates throughout the United States).
Any person or organization who donates to our organization also benefits and is generally afforded tax write offs for their generosity.
