What Canine Support Teams Inc does
Mission
To provide specially trained dogs to persons with disabilities to support their personal, social and occupational independence.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Each year an average of 30 dogs are placed with clients. These dogs are with us from puppy stage until they pass all required tests to become a service dog. These dogs are trained to do tasks such as open and close doors and cabinets, pick up dropped items (retrieval), basic obedience, etc. Our organization uses volunteers and full-time staff to train and care for the dogs throughout the process. Volunteers are needed during the puppy stage to care for the dogs as if they were their own and start the training process. Once the dog is ready for more advanced training, we utilize volunteers from the local men's and women's prisons and our own staff to facilitate the training. Approximately 20 dogs are currently being trained at the prisons and the rest are at our facility. All volunteers are under the supervision of our organization's trainers. At our facility we follow specific guidelines to care for and train all of our dogs. The more care we take with training our service dogs the better they will be for our beloved clients. The best part of what we do is releasing our service dogs to their new owners. The joy on both our clients and the dogs' faces are priceless. Our clients…

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,018,666.
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 2022 to 2023, from $537k to $1.1M (+109%).
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 62% · 2018 59% · 2019 53% · 2020 41% · 2021 34% · 2022 32% · 2023 34% · 2024 57% · 2025 59%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
101% of CANINE SUPPORT TEAMS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $37k → $522k.
6 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 87% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CANINE SUPPORT TEAMS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
CANINE SUPPORT TEAMS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
87% 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 CANINE SUPPORT TEAMS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 34% · 2018 71% · 2019 46% · 2020 70% · 2021 76% · 2022 50% · 2023 43% — growing more concentrated.
“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
33% of CANINE SUPPORT TEAMS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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 CANINE SUPPORT TEAMS 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 $262k that is directly attributable, 66% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
