In 2023, Rowdy Girl Sanctuary rescued 18 farmed animals. We continue to provide knowledge and resources for other sanctuaries to succeed in their work. 83572 Rowdy Girl Sanctuary educates the public by telling our unique story about the transformation of a former cattle ranch. Through tours, our social media network, media placement, and speaking engagements, we educate the public about the benefits of a plant-based diet, the environmental impact of animal agriculture, and how our food system works. We also have special events inviting experts in various fields of study to speak about plant-based diets, the environment, and animal ethics. Rowdy Girl Sanctuary founder Renee King-Sonnen is invited to speak around the country and in many parts of the world. The Rowdy Girl documentary continues to be screened worldwide to broaden its educational reach. 3469 The Rancher Advocacy Program (RAP) is a global resource that accelerates farm transitions by providing resources, experience, inspiration, and education for ranchers considering transitioning away from animal agriculture. RAP's social media educates the public on the cruelty of animal agriculture and its potential for pandemics and airborne viruses resulting from the overcrowding of farm animals. Families Choosing Compassion (FCC) program brings families of children who participate in Future Farmers of America and 4-H together, where farmed animals are "projects" that end up being slaughtered or used as breeders. Families are often devastated at the end of the school year when the beloved animal their child has raised must give the animal up. We are not an antagonist but rather a substitute and haven for children and families that can't remain desensitized to the "food" animal structure prevalent in our education systems. We aim to instill a deeper awareness and appreciation of farmed animals as unique individuals worthy of our love and respect. 350537 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 X X Renee King-Sonnen 2816849101 634 FM 1296 Waelder TX 78959 Renee King-Sonnen Chair & Executive Director 40.00 X X 35360 0 0 Thomas Sonnen Vice Chair 10.00 X X 13000 0 0 Ann Conrad Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kip Andersen Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brett Christoffel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 48360 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 58 174459 55596 406160 2770 636273 175 175 1708 943 765 765 637213 0 0 940 48360 21840 21216 5304 104680 58621 41872 4187 1498 839 599 60 10497 5878 4199 420 13066 13066 52000 31200 5200 15600 64279 52917 757 10605 26314 12217 13639 458 15258 10833 1221 3204 9451 4064 1512 3875 12514 12514 984 984 15596 15596 39439 39439 6746 4722 1349 675 Animal care 73416 73416 Repairs and maintenance 14774 14774 Consulting fees 4558 4558 Fuel expense 3836 3836 3427 3427 520693 350537 125768 44388 11894 12649 97163 176931 19500 5267 4011 1042038 231724 756688 810314 871012 1023405 306 26440 5857 415986 431582 422149 458022 X 448863 565383 448863 565383 871012 1023405 116520 0 X 0 0 0 X 649878 351041 502443 423254 636273 2562889 649878 351041 502443 423254 636273 2562889 680458 1882431 45 187 29 68 175 504 2563393 18341 0.73440 0.70520 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 650892 650892 111540 6482 105058 60272 20046 40226 189334 175196 14138 30000 30000 0 810314 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 Renee King-Sonnen and Thomas Sonnen have a family relationship.
