01What it does

What Whalens Heroes Inc does

Mission

The organization raises funds to pay for a professionally trained service dog for Veterans/First Responders living with PTSD. The funds raised go directly to the training facility once a recipient is identified and the dog is trained.

As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. In 2023 we raised enough money to provide two dogs. We've not yet presented those dogs because they were not fully trained. They will be presented in April of 2024 which will be when we pay the trainer.

    $0 spent

The program described on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 WHALENS HEROES 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.

Where its funders are

100% of WHALENS HEROES 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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $30 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
