Financials

We are focused on creating successful outcomes and take our responsibility to donors seriously. We are happy to personally answer any additional questions you may have regarding our funding programs.

All tax-exempt organizations are required to annually file with a Form 990 to the IRS. Our Form 990s are posted to the site as they become available. Typically, the Form 990 is available in the summer of the year following filing. Learn more about the Foundation’s tax-exempt status.

PWD-Related Research

It can take hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund breed-specific research. Our reserves vary, but our goal is to keep funds in reserve for this purpose. This provides stability when there is a breed-specific research study that is funded by the Foundation and still allows us to meet the co-sponsored funding obligations for general canine health research.
