Overview
Mission
Education & advocacy for deaf dogs and owners
What it reported doing in 2025
Advertising & promotion. Much of our mission objectives are sent to followers via social media. Often times, this requiresa paid fee to bring such information to the front of consumers social media feeds
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
