IN 2022, CLEAR PATH FOR VETERANS WAS AWARDED ACCREDITATION FROM ASSISTANCE DOGS INTERNATIONAL IN RECOGNITION OF OUR ADHERENCE TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND BEST PRACTICES. AT CLEAR PATH, WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF USING PURPOSE-BRED DOGS, WHICH IS WHY WE PARTNER WITH BREEDERS SUCH AS COLD SPRINGS HEALING PAWS FOUNDATION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND HERO LABRADORS OUT OF TEXAS. AS EARLY AS EIGHT WEEKS, PUPPIES BEGIN TRAINING FOR A LIFETIME OF SERVICE, INCLUDING AN INTENSIVE 18-MONTH PROGRAM WITH CERTIFIED TRAINERS AND TECHNICIANS. CONCURRENTLY, VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES WORK WITH OUR STAFF TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS STRUGGLES BEFORE BEING PAIRED WITH A SERVICE DOG. THIS INTEGRATED APPROACH DISTINGUISHES CLEAR PATH BECAUSE THE ARRAY OF SERVICES THAT VETERANS HAVE ACCESS TO BEFOREHAND SUPPLEMENTS THE BENEFITS OF THE CANINE PROGRAM, THEREBY ENABLING THEM TO RESOLVE CHALLENGES COMPREHENSIVELY. THE PROGRAM CURRENTLY GRADUATES 12 SERVICE DOG TEAMS ANNUALLY.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
