WHO GETS THE MONEY? BUDGETS, ASSETS, FUNDRAISING, AND OVERHEAD
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, December 1994:
BUDGETS, ASSETS, FUNDRAISING, AND OVERHEAD
The major national animal and habitat protection
groups are listed below in alphabetical order, together with
selected other organizations of note. Each group is identified in
the second column by apparent focus and philosophy: Astands
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 litigation, P for publica-
tion, R for animal rights, S for shelter and sanctuary mainte-
nance, V for focus on vivisection issues, and W for animal
welfare. The R and W designations are used only when an
organization seems to have made a point of being one or the
other. Although many groups are involved in multiple activi-
ties, space limits us to providing only four identifying letters.
Except where otherwise stated, the financial data
comes from current Internal Revenue Service Form 990 filings,
covering either calendar year or fiscal year 1993.
To place these numbers in perspective, consider that
the National Charities Information Bureau requires approved
charities to spend at least 60% of their budgets on programs,
not including direct mail associated with fundraising. This
standard is stricter––and more indicative of an organization’s
priorities––than the IRS rules, which allow charities to write
off some direct mail costs as program service under the heading
of “public education.” Thus the figures that organizations
declare and the figures as amended in accordance with NCIB
guidelines are often very different. The % column states each
organization’s overhead and fundraising costs as declared to the
IRS. The ADJ column states those costs as they would be
under NCIB guidelines. Differences appear in boldface.
Groups which have large endowments and therefore
receive a great deal of interest tend to have lower overhead
because they are not obliged to spend as much on fundraising.
The seventh 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.
The NCIB also suggests that, “Usually, the organi-
zation’s net assets available for the following fiscal year should
not be more than twice the higher of the current year’s expenses
or the next year’s budget.” Remember, though, that not all
cash and securities are actually available; many older organiza-
tions derive half or more of their income from interest.

INDIVIDUAL COMPENSATION (EXECUTIVES, DIRECTORS, TOP-PAID STAFF AND CONSULTANTS)
The Pay column below combines salaries,
pension plan contributions for those whose organiza-
tions have a pension plan, and expense accounts for
the relative handful of individuals who are not required
to itemize expenses.
Four sets of salary norms are presented in
boldface. Norms identified as SAWA come from the
1993 Society of Animal Welfare Administrators sur-
vey of Salary and Personnel Practices. Norms identi-
fied as C&Lcome from theCoopers & Lybrandpub-
lication Compensation in Not-for-Profit Organizations.
Norms identified as A L & A come from a survey of
1,377 nonprofit organizations conducted by A b b o t t ,
Langer & Associates, as summarized in the
September 6, 1994 edition of The Chronicle of
P h i l a n t h r o p y. Norms identified as T P come from a
Towers Perrinsurvey of 321 of the 400 biggest chari-
ties in the U.S., as summarized in the October 4, 1994
edition of the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
Only six groups listed in these tables rank
among the top 400: the Nature Conservancy (28),
World Wildlife Fund (130), Ducks Unlimited (154),
North Shore Animal League (192), National Wildlife
Federation (315), and Wilderness Society (381).

NOTES
1 – AAZPA ( n o w
renamed American
Zoos and Aquariums)
is supported by
grants, dues, and
securities income. In
1993 it provided
$333,489 to species
conservation.
2 – AFAAR provides
direct funding for
validation of non-ani-
mal research and test-
ing methods. All
adminstrative costs
other than postage
are paid by AFAAR
board members.
3 – The American
Humane Association
has two divisions.
Animal Protection
had a 1993 budget of
$2,089,839; Child
Protection had a bud-
get of $1,829,243.
4 – Animal Rights
M o b i l i z a t i o n
declared as overhead
some costs that most
groups would have
allocated to pro-
grams. Cash assets
exceed total assets
because ARM! began
the year with a
deficit.
5 – The Animal
Rights Networkpub-
lishes The Animals’
Agenda.
6 – Defenders of
Animal Rights d e –
clared that it did not
include in “program
ervices” any joint
costs from a com-
bined educational
campaign and fund-
raising solicitation.
However, our exami-
nation of DAR mail-
ings suggests that the
entire $91,791 DAR
humane education
budget should proper-
ly be considered a
fundraising expense.
7 – Earth Island
Institute told the IRS
that it did not allocate
any joint costs from
combined educational
and fundraising activ-
ity to programs, but
the EII programs bud-
get lists $570,034 for
“special appeals,” and
$38,264 for “direct
mail.”
8 – Farm Sanctuary
in its 1993 annual
report claimed it
spent 86% of its rev-
enues on programs.
This reckoning is not
supported by Form
990 data, using either
the IRS or NCIB
accounting standards.
9 – IFAW has 14
affiliates, whose
financial affairs are
not included in the
IRS Form 990 for
IFAW itself. Exten-
sive securities and
physical property
including aircraft are
held by various of
these affiliates.
10 – IPPL a c t u a l l y
used a stricter stan-
dard for defining the
term “combined edu-
cational campaign
and fundraising solic-
tation” than does the
NCIB, counting the
incidental appeals for
funds in the IPPL
newsletter as such a
solicitation. Thus
many of the combined
costs declared by
IPPL could legiti-
mately be allocated to
programs.
11 – Affiliates of the
M S P C A include the
American Fondouk
M a i n t e n a n c e
C o m m i t t e e, with
assets of $3,574,549;
the Mary Mitchell
Humane Fund, with
assets of $3,965,265;
and the A m e r i c a n
Humane Education
S o c i e t y, with assets
of $2,004,266. The
latter had $30,095 in
fundraising costs dur-
ing 1993; the others
did no fundraising.
The MSPCA Form
990 claims it had
eight shelters in 1993;
in fact, since it gave
up the Pittsfield shel-
ter in December 1992,
it has had only seven.
12 – As of June 31,
1992, the end of the
fiscal year covered by
the most recent
N A V S Form 990 we
have been able to get
from the IRS, the
organization was
headed by Mary
Margaret Cunniff.
Her husband Kenneth
Cunniff was also on
the payroll. Their
combined salaries and
perquisites came to
$172,000. Mary
Margaret Cunniff suc-
ceeded George Trapp,
her father, as head of
NAVS; Trapp was
paid $30,000 for con-
sulting. Four of the
seven board members
other than Mary
Margaret Cunniff
were related to her
either by blood or by
marriage. The orga-
nizational budget
was about $1.5 mil-
lion, of which up to
47% was apparently
spent in connection
with fund-raising.
13 – NHES fundrais-
ing practices are fre-
quently challenged
by other humane
societies. Details
and the NHES res-
ponse appeared in
our July/August and
October 1993 edi-
tions.
14 – North Shore
Animal League’ s
International Div-
ision, now called
PetSavers, provided
$6,352,552 to other
humane societies
during fiscal 1993.
1 5 – Through an
apparent accounting
error, the W o r l d
Wildlife Fund d i d
not declare any cash
or savings.
16 -AMP appears to
function as a conduit
for directing funds
provided almost
exclusively by U.S.
Surgical Corp. into
anti-animal rights
ads and conferences.
17 – AIFis an affili-
ate of the American
Feed Industry Assn.
18 – PPF filed as A
Lot of People
Putting People
First.
