Lebaron Rescue And Sanctuary Incorporated
This organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting animal welfare initiatives. Its mission emphasizes providing general support to facilities that rescue and shelter animals, as evidenced by its funding of organizations like Tiger Haven. The foundation primarily focuses on animal shelters and wildlife rescue efforts, reflecting a commitment to the care and protection of animals in need. While it operates with a medium-sized financial profile, its grantmaking activities are currently limited, with a notable focus on specific recipients in the animal welfare sector.

Ideal Applicant
Small or medium-sized animal-welfare or wildlife-rescue charities with an existing relationship or local ties to the foundation's leadership.
Good Fit
- • Work focused on animal rescue, sanctuaries, or wildlife rehabilitation (the 2022 grant went to a wildlife facility).
- • A prior personal or intermediary introduction to an officer or trustee.
- • Project or operating requests in the small-grant range (the only recorded grant was $4,500).
Geography
Observed giving is narrowly recorded: the only itemized grant in the available years went to an organization in Tennessee, and the foundation is domiciled in Virginia; overall geographic footprint appears limited but the history is sparse.
Recipient Variety
Across the two years on file the foundation shows a single distinct recipient in 2022 and no itemized recipients in 2024, so the observed recipient set is very small in the available history.
New Applicants
The filings explicitly state the foundation only considers preselected applicants and there is no public application process visible; direct evidence of new-recipient turnover is limited but the explicit preselection language and absence of contact routes indicate unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio.
