Overview

Mission

We are a small organization with great hopes to train dogs to improve the lives of our veterans that are suffering from PTSD. It's our goal to promote wellness to help veterans, "Choose Life Over Suicide". K9 Karma wants to help rebuild life skills that are lost when our veterans return home. A service dog will help them in dealing with anxiety, depression, and most importantly, help them in building a better relationship with their families.

What it reported doing in 2020

Adopted and purchased new dogs, which were were certified through our program and paired with veterans.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
