Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Patriots and Paws help veterans and their families with furniture and small necessities needed, and provides them with a small animal for companion.

  • Provisions for Patriots provides basic home furnishings in a warehouse environment. This is the organizations largest program to date. Serving over 19,536 Veteran, Active Duty, Reservists throughout Southern California since our inception. Paws Partners is a program that has changed a bit due to a new law, SB245 (CA) allowing Veterans in California go to county shelters and adopt an animal at no cost local shelters benefits, by having more animals adopted. Because of us in 2025 NV voted in SB 325 Pets for Heros Act, which went into effect October 1, 2025. We are currently working on creating a kennel that will allow Veterans to kennel their animals with us, while they care of their personal/medical needs. Some of those helped by the organization need a purpose and having an animal gives them that purpose. Patriots and Paws volunteers contributed over 158,990 volunteer hours since we have started. All donations go to offset operating expenses. The organizations largest expense is monthly rent, and the next largest is transpiration. The remainder of funds pays for payroll of 2 full time and 6 part time employees, insurance, utilities, and fuel and office supply costs. Donor generosity keeps our doors open and allows the organization to continue to serve those who served our country and give us the freedom we have today.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

  • RITEWAY CHARITY SERVICES INC.

    $367 raised

    2024 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $367 to charity

  • RITEWAY CHARITY SERVICES INC.

    $4,000 raised

    2021 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $2,380 to charity

  • RITEWAY CHARITY SERVICES INC.

    $7,318 raised

    2020 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $4,005 to charity

  • RITEWAY CHARITY SERVICES INC.

    $3,100 raised

    2019 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $1,310 to charity

Amounts are as filed and do not add up: a commercial coventurer reports one promotion's whole gross once for each charity that shared in it. A campaign may also name more than one registered charity, in which case it appears on each.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
