What Gallant Hearts Guide Dog Center does
Mission
To breed, raise, train and place healthy, well-trained dogs to lead people who are blind and to do all things necessary to achieve this goal. Gallant Hearts Guide Dog Center provides guide dogs, free of charge, to qualified individuals to enhance dignity, promote independent living, productivity, and self-confidence, through improved mobility.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
During 2024 gallant hearts renovated an old, 5 run kennel with indoor/outdoor runs for the guide dogs in training and breeding stock. This is a state of the art kennel with controlled environment and more sanitary living conditions. This renovation was done at no expense to gallant hearts through the generous donation of a supporter.the organization bred two litters of puppies and the breeding and raising of these puppies were funded through a grant from the delta gamma foundation. Some puppies were donated to the organization and gallant hearts purchased a couple of puppies that were needed for training.the donations from delta gamma chapters continue to improve each year and the contribution from the organization's bingo hall also increased and is likely to increase more during 2025 as significant changes and improvements are being made in the bingo operation.a grant writer has been identified and in late 2024, gallant hearts contracted with the grant writer and received funding from another organization to help with the costs of the grant writer.

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 2017 to 2018, from $269k to $424k (+58%).
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: 2024 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
51% of GALLANT HEARTS GUIDE DOG CENTER’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $32k → $87k.
2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
GALLANT HEARTS GUIDE DOG CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 82% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
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 GALLANT HEARTS GUIDE DOG CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 78% · 2018 77% · 2019 83% · 2020 82% · 2021 78% · 2022 81% · 2023 91% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
GALLANT HEARTS GUIDE DOG CENTER draws 90% of its grant income from funders outside Mississippi, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $30k 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.
