AS SUCH, VMF SERVICE DOGS ARE THE ORGANIZATION'S MOST VALUABLE ASSETS. IT COSTS VMF $40,000 TO ACQUIRE, TRAIN AND PLACE A SERVICE DOG, DEPENDING UPON THE SERVICE DOG'S ULTIMATE ROLE AND THE COMPLEXITY OF THE VETERANS' NEEDS BEING SERVED. EACH OF VMF'S HIGHLY TRAINED DOGS IS ASSESSED THROUGHOUT AN ONGOING 24-MONTH TRAINING AND PLACEMENT CYCLE. THIS ENSURES THAT EACH SERVICE DOG IN TRAINING (SDIT) IS TRAINED TO MEET THE VETERAN'S SPECIFIC NEEDS.THE VMF TRAINING CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR DULLES AIRPORT. THE CENTER CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE SERVICE DOG TRAINING PROGRAM AND PROVIDES A LOCATION TO CONDUCT VETERAN APPLICANT INTERVIEWS AND A MEET AND GREET WITH POSSIBLE SERVICE DOG CANDIDATES. THE CENTER IS A QUIET, SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE INITIAL MEETING AND SUBSEQUENT TRAINING WITH THE VETERANS WHO HAVE APPLIED FOR AND BEEN MATCHED WITH A VMF SERVICE DOG. VETERAN TRAINING IS IMPORTANT TO THE SUCCESSFUL PLACEMENT OF SERVICE DOGS WITH THEIR VETERAN PARTNERS. THE CENTER ALSO PROVIDES A WIDE VARIETY OF TRAINING AIDS AND DEVICES THAT WE ARE ABLE TO INCORPORATE INTO SERVICE DOG TRAINING. IN 2022 VMF ACQUIRED THREE NEW PUPPIES, PLACED TWO SERVICE DOGS AND ONE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG. UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES ONE OF THE VMG DOGS WAS UNABLE TO BE PLACED WITH A VETERAN AND WAS RETURNED TO THE BREEDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BREEDER CONTRACT. VMF HAD SEVERAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS AND ATTENDED NUMEROUS OUTREACH EVENTS, WE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN BOTH FUNDRAISING EFFORTS AND OUTREACH. RAISING THE MOST MONEY IN VMF HISTORY. VMF PARTNERED WITH TACTICAL RECOVERY AN IN-PATIENT/OUTPATIENT TREATMENT CENTER FOR VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS TO DO THERAPY WORK. VMF ALSO STARTED DOING THERAPY WORK WITH LOCAL AGENCIES. OUR SERVICE DOGS AND THERAPY DOGS TOUCHED THE LIVES OF AT LEAST 5,000 VETERANS. 50 VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED 22,398 HOURS IN 2022, COVERING ALL PROGRAM AREAS, INCLUDING TRAINING, FUNDRAISING, MAINTENANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION. 301092 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X THE ORGANIZATION 7036652129 44225 MERCURE CIRCLE 130 DULLES VA 20166 DIANE NAKASHIMA BARSTEIN TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 SANDY DANIELS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 REUBEN JONES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN PRUFETA VICE CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT ROSENKRANZ PAST CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 LARRY GRAYER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN CALLAN SECRETARY 1.50 X X 0 0 0 BUD SCHIFF DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES BYRNE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BEN HODGES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GARY PROFIT CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ED WEINBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JIM MANGIE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GORDON SUMNER CEO/PRESIDENT 40.00 X 98846 0 0 98846 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 494076 22063 494076 COMFORT DOG TRAINING 900099 750 750 750 799 799 41739 5370 36369 36369 531994 750 0 37168 98847 59308 9885 29654 156269 121300 26227 8742 19516 13816 2763 2937 10139 3506 6225 408 4695 644 442 3609 8936 4458 1113 3365 4960 3968 496 496 54595 43676 5459 5460 9320 8201 1119 7095 5271 851 973 4388 3475 669 244 SDIT EXPENSES 29229 29229 MISC EXPENSES 4000 4000 TELEPHONE 300 240 30 30 412289 301092 54160 57037 99590 175537 354524 390563 1419 1733 65400 21315 43449 44085 37700 44469 536682 656387 149900 149900 149900 149900 X 386782 506487 386782 506487 536682 656387 119705 0 X 0 0 0 X 241433 315750 192032 515023 494076 1758314 750 750 241433 315750 192032 515023 494826 1759064 17450 20000 37450 0 17450 20000 37450 1721614 3064 2135 2289 498 799 8785 3064 2135 2289 498 799 8785 244497 317885 194321 515521 495625 1767849 0.97380 0.99290 0.00500 0.00710 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 18551 5565 12986 46849 15750 31099 44085 SECURITY DEPOSITS 7600 SERVICE DOGS 36869 44469 EIDL LOAN 149900 149900 CANINE CALENDER ONLINE OUTREACH 730 730 -20 DRIVES FOR DOGS 7306 7306 45 1 33703 33703 5345 41739 41739 5370 5370 36369 X MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS 0 9321 X FOOD 0 5972 X SERVICE DOG 0 5500 X MILEAGE/TRAVEL 0 1270 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY A CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM AND A DRAFT OF FORM 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO REVIEW PRIOR TO ITS FILING.
