Nestled in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York, the rolling green pastures of Farm Sanctuary’s 275-acre New York Sanctuary are home to more than 400 rescued farm animals.
Our 39-acre Southern California Sanctuary — home to approximately 100 rescued farm animals — is located on a beautiful hacienda ranch in Acton, just 45 minutes from Hollywood.
Farm animals are among the most abused creatures on earth. Pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, and others suffer by the billions, locked away in places that echo with cries of terror and pain, places that reek of cruelty, dark places with unspeakable horrors.
You are one of the special people who know that farm animals are individuals who deserve our compassion. Every time you support Farm Sanctuary, you shine the light of your kindness into their lives. You speak up for a better and more compassionate way.
Named for Hilda, the first animal rescued by Farm Sanctuary, Hilda Club was established to express our deep appreciation for members who make leadership gifts towards farm animal protection.
Sanctuary Sustainers provide a strong backbone of support for all of Farm Sanctuary’s lifesaving rescue, education, and advocacy work through monthly giving.
When you create a gift in your will, trust, investment accounts, retirement plans, or other estate plans, you open a gateway to remarkable change for farm animals. To talk about the many opportunities for legacy giving, please contact us at [email protected].
A contribution of $25 or more entitles you to a Farm Sanctuary Membership for one year. Members receive Sanctuary magazine and access to our Bed & Breakfast cabins.

Farm Sanctuary is committed to efficiency and transparency.
We communicate with our supporters, donors, and prospective donors through campaigns conducted via direct mail, email, telephone, and other means, both to request contributions to our cause and to educate the public about farm animal issues, our rescue and care programs, our on-site and off-site educational programs, volunteer opportunities, calls to action, and more.
These efforts help advance our mission to protect farm animals from cruelty, inspire change in the way society views and treats farm animals, and promote compassionate vegan living.
As a result, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidelines and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidance, Farm Sanctuary allocates a portion of these expenses to fundraising and a portion to program services. As a nonprofit organization that is exempt from federal taxation, we ensure our donors’ money is spent as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Farm Sanctuary is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation (tax ID number 51-0292919). Download our most recent IRS Form 990 and audited financial statement below.
