At Dog Squad, we are deeply grateful for the committed donors, fosters, and supporters whose generosity makes our mission possible. Every second chance we offer—every life we save—exists because of you.

We believe that transparency is key to building trust and accountability. That’s why we openly share our financial records and the impact your donations have on the dogs in our care. Our most recent IRS Form 990, along with past years’ filings, are available for public review.

Dog Squad is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We receive no government funding and rely solely on donations, fundraisers, and, when needed, contributions from our own team. Every dollar goes directly toward the care of abused, neglected, injured, and abandoned dogs—covering everything from life-saving surgeries and medications to food, training, and transportation.

The growth we’ve experienced over the past two years is a direct reflection of your support. Thanks to you, more dogs are getting the second chance they deserve.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us rewrite the stories of dogs who were once forgotten.

Why is the 501(c)3 Determination Letter IMPORTANT?

The 501(c)(3) determination letter is a crucial component in forming a 501(c)3 organization for the following reasons:

Tax-exempt status: The determination letter grants tax-exempt status to the nonprofit organization, meaning the organization is exempt from federal income tax and, in some cases, state and local taxes.
Attracts donors: The determination letter assures potential donors that their contributions are eligible for tax deductions. Donors will likely contribute to a 501(c)3 organization because they can support a cause they care about and receive a financial benefit.
Access to grant funding: Many foundations, governmental agencies, and grantmakers require nonprofits to have 501(c)3 status to be eligible for grant funding. This designation opens doors to various funding opportunities, making it easier for nonprofits to pursue their missions.
Compliance with regulations: Nonprofits with 501(c)3 status must adhere to specific regulations and restrictions set by the IRS. Having the determination letter reinforces an organization’s commitment to following these rules.
Credibility and trust: 501(c)3 status shows an organization has undergone a rigorous application process with the IRS to prove its dedication to serving the public good and adhering to specific regulations.
Legal recognition: The determination letter proves the IRS recognizes the organization. This recognition can be important when entering contracts, securing property, and dealing with legal matters.
