Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

OUR ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR AND PROVIDE PHYSICAL AID AND SUPPORT TO DISABLED US MILITARY VETERANS. OUR PROGRAM COVERS A CRUCIAL GAP IN THE INDUSTRY-A VETERAN OPERATED ORGANIZATION, THAT CAN ASSIST VETERANS WITH THEIR RECOVERY THROUGH THE FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE OF THE INDUSTRY AS WELL AS THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES THAT VETERANS FACE DAILY(A VETERAN CENTRIC APPROACH). OUR VISION IS TO ENSURE OUR VETERANS RECEIVE A SERVICE DOG OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER THAT CAN MITIGATE THEIR SPECIFIC DISABILITIES WITHOUT ANY TEMPERMENTAL OR BEHAVIORAL ISSUES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

LEASHES OF VALOR IS A NATIONAL NONPROFIT THAT PROVIDES HIGHLY-TRAINED SERVICE DOGS TO POST-9/11 VETERANS TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD), TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI) OR MILITARY SEXUAL TRAUMA (MST), AN UNDERLYING TRAUMA TO PTSD. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, WE SOURCE DOGS FROM ANIMAL SHELTERS AND RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS. OUR GOAL IS TO ENRICH AND IMPROVE THE LIVES OF BOTH VETERANS AND DOGS: ONE LEASH SAVES TWO LIVES. FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION WITH OUR VETERANS CONTINUES FOR LIFE, AND WE PROVIDE LIFETIME CARE FOR OUR SERVICE DOGS. THIS LEVEL OF DEDICATION IS HOW WE ARE SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN THE WORLD OF SERVICE DOGS.

  • OUR PROGRAM IS ENTITLED: LEASHES OF VALOR. THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF THIS ORGANIZATION IS TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR DISABLED US MILITARY VETERANS AND TO PROVIDE PHYSICAL AID AND SUPPORT FOR DISABLED VETERANS BY TRAINING AND PAIRING THEM WITH SERVICE DOGS TRAINED SPECIFICALLY TO ASSIST THEM IN MITIGATING THEIR SYMPTOMS OF PTSD(POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER) AND TBI(TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY). THESE SERVICE DOGS REDUCE THE SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH PTSD AND TBI IN OUR VETERANS, SYMPTOMS THAT CAN OFTEN LEAD TO SUICIDE. THESE DOGS ARE HIGHLY TRAINED BY EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS TO KEY IN ON THE VETERANS' DISABILITIES BY PROVIDING "ALERTS" TO THEIR SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS THE TRAINERS ENSURE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF OBEDIENCE AND QUALITY OF TRAINING IS ACHIEVED BEFORE THE DOG EVER LEAVES THE PROGRAM. ONCE THE DOG'S TRAINING IS COMPLETE, THE DOG IS PAIRED WITH A VETERAN, WHERE THE TWO WILL BE TRAINED TOGETHER.

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.

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.

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.
