What K9 Care Montana Inc does
Mission
Since 2010, K9 Care Montana has been providing AT NO COST service dogs mitigating PTS and mobility to Wounded Veterans and children challenged by autism, The incorporation of our customized outdoor program makes it for a very unique experience. In 2018 we extended all programs and services to First Responders.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
We produce premier service dogs at no cost for our beneficiaries and in 2025 we started eight new service dog projects. We think of them as projects since each takes a year or more and there are lots of moving parts to get from pup to trained service dog. This cohort of pups includes one white in color golden retriever who will with time and training become a key element the therapist uses in the patients autism treatment. This is a three-year project as the dog learns added skills and matures. Because of the time required and the rigor of the effort, I think we are the only folks in montana that embrace the task.

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 2021 to 2022, from $163k to $265k (+63%).
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: 2022 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of K9 CARE MONTANA INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 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.

How concentrated its funding is

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 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 K9 CARE MONTANA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 48% · 2019 71% · 2020 39% · 2021 44% · 2022 60% · 2023 39% — 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
70% of K9 CARE MONTANA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 71% 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
52% of K9 CARE MONTANA 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 $389k that is directly attributable, 84% of it comes from funders outside Montana, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $415k 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.
