What Guide Dogs of Texas Inc does
Mission
Guide Dogs of Texas provides quality guide dogs for Texans who are visually impaired to increase their freedom, mobility and independence. We are committed to personalized service and lifelong dedication to our clients and their guide dogs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Guide Dog Program Guide Dogs of Texas raises, trains and provides quality guide dogs to Texans who are visually impaired giving mobility and independence for living. Currently, 97 of the pups in training are whelped in the program to ensure the highest quality of health and temperament required in a guide dog. Early puppy training relies on volunteers and a very successful prison puppy raising program. Advanced training, client matching and training, as well as follow-up services are accomplished with professional guide dog mobility instructors on staff. Follow-up training services are provided for the life of the guide dog team anywhere in Texas. All expenses are attributed to canine training or human service outcomes.

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 2023 to 2024, from $1.2M to $3.2M (+160%).
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: 2021 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
101% of Guide Dogs of Texas Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

How long its funders stay
45% of Guide Dogs of Texas Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $328k 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.
