Overview
Mission
Prison pet partnership (ppp) enriches the lives of inmates, homeless animals and the community through the human-animal bond. Ppp trains rescue and purpose-bred dogs as service, therapy and companion animals. Ppp also operates a boarding and grooming facility to provide vocational education to incarcerated women. When women release from prison, ppp assists with job placement and provides scholarships to former participants who wish to further their knowledge in the animal care industry.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization provides vocational education to incarcerated individuals, enabling participants to earn certifications as pet care technicians, groomers, and dog trainers. These programs equip participants with marketable job skills that support successful reentry into the workforce upon release. Program participants demonstrate strong outcomes, with a recidivism rate of less than 3%, compared to the Washington state average of 22.2%. The program serves a charitable class by addressing barriers to employment for incarcerated individuals reentering society and promoting public safety through workforce development.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 68% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
