What Bluepath Service Dogs Inc does
Mission
The mission of bluepath service dogs, inc. Is to provide autism service dogs, offering safety, companionship and opportunities for independence. Bluepath's expertly trained autism service dogs work alongside parents and caregivers to prevent wandering. The dogs significantly lessen parents' safety concerns and help children to lead fuller lives. Reduced stress, improved sleeping routines and more meaningful social interactions can allow families to feel a renewed sense of hope and empowerment.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Bluepath service dogs, inc. Raises, trains and places service dogs in families with children with autism. Annually, bluepath participates in a number of community events, providing extensive education around autism spectrum disorders and service dogs, and garnering continued support for its mission. Bluepath's autism service dog program includes puppy raising, formal training and placement components. Volunteer puppy raisers devote their time and expertise to preparing labrador and golden retriever puppies to become well-adjusted service dogs. Beginning at eight weeks of age, puppies are taught basic obedience skills and appropriate home behavior. Raisers expose the eager pups to all the world has to offer, enabling them to develop a reference library of sights, sounds, and experiences needed to become well-trained service dogs. At approximately 18 months of age, bluepath dogs begin formal training during which time a professional instructor builds on the foundation the puppy raiser has instilled, teaching the dog increasingly advanced behaviors. Dogs acquire skills like "anchoring" (learning how to stop a child from wandering or bolting) and "visit" (providing grounding support…

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 2024 to 2025, from $3.3M to $3.7M (+13%).
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: 2020 8% · 2021 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
88% of BLUEPATH SERVICE DOGS INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (74% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

From the IRS filings of BLUEPATH SERVICE DOGS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 85 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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 concentrated its funding is
BLUEPATH SERVICE DOGS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
52% 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 BLUEPATH SERVICE DOGS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 55% · 2019 42% · 2020 40% · 2021 16% · 2022 56% · 2023 31% — 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
63% of BLUEPATH SERVICE DOGS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% 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
51% of BLUEPATH SERVICE DOGS INC'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 $1.7M that is directly attributable, 62% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 18 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
