What Dogwood Ranch Corporation does
Mission
Dogwood ranch exists to rebuild generations and break the cycle of trauma by restoring the one. The vision of dogwood ranch is to see that every foster youth and at-risk family within the heart of the ozarks has the opportunity to function fully in their god-given gifts and destiny, impacting future generations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In 2024, our healing reins equine therapy program served 96 unique clients in its traditional weekday program. We continued to work with our primary targeted populations including current and former foster children/youth, those who have experienced significant loss and other trauma survivors. Upon completing our 12-week equine therapy program, 94% of our clients reported an increased attempt to create healthy attachments with their caregivers and trusted family members, 87% reported having improved their ability to verbally express their emotions and 75% reported an increase in hope/motivation for the future. We are so thankful for the continued healing and hope that healing reins provides to our most fragile populations. Additionally, we were able to expand our healing reins therapeutic team by adding a second licensed therapist and equine specialist who focus solely on serving and supporting our military/veteran/first responder population. That program served 16 unique clients in 2024, all of whom reported a significant reduction in anxiety post treatment.

Working with single moms has been particularly rewarding as we have helped them gain stability in their day-to-day life, positively impacting their employment, financial goals and emotional well-being. This has in turn helped them parent their children more successfully and maintain their independent living skills. We are proud to share that 78% of our residents' treatment goals were accomplished/completed while they were residing at the haven dogwood ranch was able to maintain our primary staff, allowing us to continue serving and meeting the needs of our community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $804k to $1.1M (+41%).
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 90% · 2021 79% · 2022 88% · 2023 70% · 2024 70%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
70% of DOGWOOD RANCH CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $31k → $457k.
7 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% 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 DOGWOOD RANCH CORPORATION’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
DOGWOOD RANCH CORPORATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 65%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
86% 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 DOGWOOD RANCH CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 80% · 2018 26% · 2019 35% · 2020 53% · 2021 79% · 2022 35% · 2023 74% — 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
22% of DOGWOOD RANCH CORPORATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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
92% of DOGWOOD RANCH CORPORATION's grant income comes from Missouri funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $374k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
