Who gets the money?
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, December 1992:
BUDGETS, EXPENSES, AND ASSETS
The major national animal and habitat protection
groups are listed below in alphabetical order, together with
selected other organizations of importance and influence in
the animal protection community. Each group is identified
in the second column by apparent focus and philosophy: A
stands for advocacy, C for conservation of habitat via
acquisition, E for education, H for support of hunting
(either for “wildlife management” or recreation), L for liti-
gation, P for publication, R for animal rights, S for shel-
ter and sanctuary maintenance, V for focus on vivisection
issues, and W for animal welfare. The R and W designa-
tions are used only when an organization seems to have
made a particular point of being one or the other. Although
many groups are involved in multiple activities, available
space limits us to providing a maximum of four identifying
letters.
The fourth and fifth columns, appearing between
the Budget and Programs headings, indicate whether the
budget of each group grew or shrank from 1990 and 1989,
respectively. The seventh column indicates the percentage
of total 1991 budget that went toward overhead (generally
defined as fundraising, office expenses, and salaries,
although many groups split salaries between programs and
overhead). Groups who have large endowments and there-
fore receive a great deal of interest tend to have lower over-
head because they are not obliged to spend as much on
fundraising.
The sixth through ninth columns provide data on
assets. Note that shelters and sanctuaries tend to have more
fixed assets (land, buildings, and equipment) because of the
nature of their work.
Because organizations file tax returns at different
times of year, and because state charities bureaus and
regional offices of the Internal Revenue Service respond to
information requests with varying degrees of promptness,
data on some organizations was still unavailable at deadline.

BUDGETS, EXPENSES, AND ASSETS FOOTNOTES
1 – The American Anti-Vivisection Society is not
legally required to publish staff salaries.
2 – AHA has two divisions, Animal Protection,
whose 1991 budget was $1,663,207, and Child Protection,
whose 1991 budget was $920,490.
3 – The ASPCA claimed $8,934,639 worth of assets
of an unspecified nature which were neither land, buildings,
and equipment, nor cash and securities.
4 – API data comes from a 1990 IRS Form 990, the
most recent we were able to obtain.
5 – The Animal Rights Network publishes T h e
Animals’ Agenda magazine.
6 – Compassion for Animals is publisher of T h e
Animals’ Voicemagazine.
7 – Defenders of Animal Rights allocated $119,406
to “program services” under the heading of “humane educa-
tion,” which appears to have been spent primarily in connection
with direct-mail fundraising. Reallocating this amount indi-
cates a balance of 56% of the budget spent on programs; 44%
on fundraising and overhead.
8 – The Doris Day Animal League spent $690,779 to
distribute nearly three million direct mail pieces under the
headings of “public advocacy” and “public education,” most or
all of which was in connection with direct mail fundraising.
Reallocating this amount from “program services” to “fundrais-
ing and overhead” raises the latter category to 70% of the total
1991 budget. Fundraising and overhead may have accounted
for as much as 98% of the total 1990 budget.
9 – FARM fundraising in 1991 appears to have been
incidental to other activities.
1 0 – HSUS spent $5,679,769 on “public education,
membership information, and publication,” much of which
was in connection with fundraising. Because key lines were
left blank on the Form 990 and because essential attachments
were missing, it is impossible to ascertain how this amount was
allocated between program services and fundraising.
11 – In Defense of Animals claimed program expen-
ditures of $344,852 for printing and publications, much of
which appears to have been done in connection with direct-mail
fundraising. Reallocating the full amount from program service
to overhead produces a breakdown of 54% for programs, 46%
for overhead. The actual balance should probably be closer to
65%/35%, but cannot be determined from the available infor-
mation.
12- We received an incomplete IRS Form 990 for the
MSPCA; the missing pages were en route but not yet received
at our deadline.
13 – NAVS assets as of June 30, 1991 (the end of
the organization’s fiscal year) included $46,745 worth of stock
in U.S. Surgical, a firm that performs vivisection on dogs and
is the primary backer of three pro-vivisection groups:
Americans for Medical Progress Educational Foundation,
Connecticut United for Research Excellence, and Educators for
Responsible Science. In addition, NAVS held the following
amounts of stock in these other firms that were at the time
under boycott by various national animal and habitat protection
groups: $71,351, Campbell Soup (major shareholder also
owns a “canned hunting” facility); $76,190, Great Lakes
Chemical Corp. (allegedly involved in pollution incidents);
$5,775, J.C. Penney Co. (withdrew apparel bearing anti-hunt-
ing logos); $14,301, Kerr-McGee Corp. (major nuclear fuel
miner); $85,260, Phillip Morris Co. (longtime sponsor of ani-
mal testing); $68,640, Reader’s Digest Assn. (pro-vivisection
editorial policy); $95,705, Wal-Mart Stores (sells live pets);
$41,488, Waste Management Inc. (involved in numerous pol-
lution incidents, including one in which it paid the largest fine
ever assessed for causing pollution.) We have been informed
that NAVS subsequently sold the U.S. Surgical holdings.
1 4 – The North Shore Animal League contributed
$2,353,839 to a total of 45 other humane organizations and pro-
jects during 1991, and contributed $2,446,442 toward veteri-
nary scholarships.
15- Pennsylvania SPCA data comes from a 1990 IRS
Form 1990, the most recent available to us at deadline. The
1991 Form 990 has been requested; data from it will be pub-
lished when received.
16 – PETA spent $753,922 for “membership develop-
ment,” under the heading of program services, which appears to
have been done in connection with direct-mail fundraising.
Reallocating this amount indicates an actual balance of 65% of
the budget spent on programs; 35% on fundraising.
1 7 – The Sierra Club changed from fiscal year
accounting to calendar year accounting in October 1991. Thus
the budget stated here covers only the last three months of
1991.
1 8 – UAA has reorganized and is now headed by
research director Brandon Raines.
19 – The World Wildlife Fund absorbed the
Conservation Foundation via merger during fiscal year 1991.
The combined organizations reported spending $6,704,435 on
membership education and $10,726,834 on public education,
most or all of which appears to have been spent on direct-mail
fundraising. Reallocating these amounts produces a breakdown
of 53% for programs and 47% for overhead. WWF apparently
began assigning direct-mail fundraising costs to “programs” in
1990, after the National Charities Information Bureau found
that the group did not meet its standards because the balance of
spending in 1989 was 58% programs, 42% fundraising.
Who Gets The Money? 1991 Individual Salaries
This table lists the total 1991 remuneration of the top executives of each group list-
ed in the preceding table, together with the remuneration of each group’s five highest-paid
staffers, the remuneration of directors if directors are compensated, and remuneration paid
to other individuals for professional services. The listing is in order of salary size, with the
highest first. Organizational heads are listed in capital letters. Organizational heads who
receive no compensation are listed only if they devote substantial amounts of time to the
affairs of the organization; heads in title only are omitted. To provide a basis for compari-
son, the data also includes either average or median salary figures, as available, for similar
jobs across the nonprofit spectrum, at animal shelters, in veterinary practice, at zoos, and
at large. These average and median figures, if older than one year, have been increased by
3% per year on the somewhat questionable assumption that raises have kept pace with the
cost of living. The averages and medians have been taken from a wide variety of sources,
including but not limited to the U.S. Department of the Census, the 1991 National
Nonprofit Wage And Benefit Survey, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, and the Journal of the
American Veterinary Medical Association.
