95% of donated funds were allocated to pay the cost of Canine trainers. ESS provided training services for the 2021 program and includes their administrative and travel expenses. It represents the largest cost of a service dog.
Warriors are never charged for these services.

Fundraising Costs
Sometimes it takes money to make money! We had the opportunity this year to partner with businesses that gave us a great deal to generate income.
We also pay for booth space, print materials, merchandise, and travel.

Administrative
We are proud to say our administrative costs are X% of our budget. This category is what it takes to keep the lights on. We have yearly administrative costs such as insurance, website fees, and state registration fees are surveyed annually to control costs and keep overhead low.

Graduates
Donor funds in 2021 have changed the lives of our Warriors. Through your generosity we have paid our Canine trainers to train and graduate our Warriors with Certified Service Dogs.
No Warrior pays for the cost of this training.
Their transformation is our motivation.
