In the News: Mission In Action
Impact is at the heart of everything we do! With the support our our partners, community, and volunteers, our work has earned recognition while creating meaningful change for veterans. This page reflects the results of those partnerships and even grants awarded to us!
Trutta Fund
In November 2025, Collar of Duty was awarded a grant of $2,500 by the Trutta Fund for Veterans, managed by Western Colorado Community Foundation (WCCF) to support our mission in Service Dog Training for 2026.

We are so grateful for this grant and look forward to sharing which veterans and pups will benefit from this grant.
