At Dogs on Deployment, we value the trust you place in us and are committed to transparency. Starting in 2024, we are introducing quarterly impact reports for our Donor Corps Members. These reports will provide real-time statistics on the effectiveness, challenges, current needs, and expected trajectories of each program you choose to support. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to engage more deeply with our donors and enhance transparency in how contributions are utilized.

To streamline our processes and ensure equitable distribution of funds, we are phasing out the option to create individual fundraisers for specific pets in need. Instead, we encourage supporters to contribute to the program of their choice through a recurring monthly gift. This change allows us to more effectively allocate funds across all eligible pet parents by basing grants on expected revenue, rather than depending on incoming donations for each pet. This method enhances our ability to help.

At Dogs on Deployment, we maintain strict financial integrity by ensuring that all grant payments are made directly to service providers, not to individuals. This policy guarantees that the funds are used solely for the purpose stated in the approved application, directly benefiting the pet in need as intended. This approach ensures that your donation is used appropriately and effectively, aligning with the specific needs of the pets we support.

For the purposes of public reporting, Dogs on Deployment uses historical data collected from individual applicants spanning the years 2018 to 2023. This data is self-reported by military members during their application process and is verified if their applications are approved to receive services. Our team analyzes this data to ensure accuracy and reliability. The analyzed data is then compiled into reports, which are made publicly available on our website.
