The figure, and the year it covers
One number, stated once, with the period it applies to and a link to the statement it comes from.
What the figure includes
Which costs count as programme spend and which do not, in plain language rather than accounting terms.
Why it moves
A volunteer-run charity's ratio shifts year to year with the number of placements. Publishing the year alongside the figure is what makes it credible rather than suspicious.
The money behind one dog
A placement costs $20,000 to $30,000 from intake to certification. Setting out where that goes is more persuasive than any percentage, because it is checkable against what the program actually does.
Selection and intake
Assessing and acquiring a dog suited to the work.
About two years of task training
The largest single cost, and the one that cannot be shortened.
Veterinary care and equipment
Carried across the whole training period.
Testing, certification and handler training
The public access test, the certification evaluation, and training the handler to work with the dog.
Documents that show where your donation goes
Everything a careful donor or a corporate giving committee needs in order to finish their due diligence here rather than somewhere else.
