This encompasses human trafficking training, direct guidance to families of missing persons, youth education on situational awareness and personal safety. Additionally, I have been asked to conduct keynote presentations on the following subjects, missing persons prevention, safety planning, and community crime awareness. As a result of my keynote presentations I have been asked to serve on four task forces, have been featured on a podcast, have been interviewed by newspapers, and been featured in a documentary. Collectively, I have engaged with 20,000 Native Americans and educated them about situational awareness, prevention and what to do when a family member goes missing.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
79% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund 4CORNERS K-9 SEARCH AND RESCUE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
79% of 4CORNERS K-9 SEARCH AND RESCUE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $3k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Mexico, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
