What Animal Assisted Therapy Programs of Colorado does
Mission
Aatpc's mission is to make the benefits of animal assisted therapy accessible to people of all ages, income levels, and insurance statuses.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Mazey's dream - low fee counseling program. 55% of aatpc's clients recevied counseling for a minimum fee, paying an average of 20 per session, based on their ability to pay. No clients were turned away for lack of funds. To qualify, clients earned less than 50,000 per year. Mazey's dream enabled aatpc to see referrals from several organizations such as probation, social services, victims of crime, etc. Counseling was provided by master's level interns and graduate trainees, allowing the clinicians to learn and practice the advanced skills of animal assisted psychotherapy under close supervision.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $562k to $1.6M (+177%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 50% · 2021 17% · 2022 17% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
7% of ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY PROGRAMS OF COLORADO’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
90% 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 ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY PROGRAMS OF COLORADO.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 68% · 2019 89% · 2020 86% · 2021 86% · 2022 65% · 2023 82% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
40% of ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY PROGRAMS OF COLORADO's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 31% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
87% of ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY PROGRAMS OF COLORADO'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 $61k that is directly attributable, 80% of it comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $413k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states 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.
