More “Who gets the money?”

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, April 1996:

ANIMAL PEOPLE continues to receive IRS Form 990 filings and/or group financial
statements for fiscal year 1994, four months after the deadline for inclusion in our annual
December financial abstract of animal and habitat protection groups:

• The American Bird Conservancy,
formed by the 1993 merger of the International
Council for Bird Protection–U.S., the ICBP–Pan
American Section, and the ICBP Inc., when the
original ICBP became BirdLife International,
spent $237,067; claimed to spend $142,517 on
programs, against $94,550 (40%) on fundraising
and overhead; did not claim program costs associated
with fundraising; and had assets of
$638,541, including $11,484 in fixed property
and $629,024 in cash. It took in $841,482 for the
year, $603,158 as grants from affiliates. Both the
revenues and the assets are quite high relative to
the level of reported activity, and may reflect
preparation to buy land or other facilities. Acting
administrative director George Schillinger was
paid $36,250. George Fenwick, paid $9,000 for
service “as required,” was the only other staffer
listed.

• Earth Island Institute in 1994 spent
$3,341,465; claimed to spend $2,824,825 on programs,
against $516,560 (16%) on fundraising

costs associated with fundraising, for adjusted
fundraising and overhead cost of 34%; and had
assets of $957,308, including $75,788 in fixed
property and $1,144,740 in cash, vs. liabilities of
$659,753. Co-executive directors John Knox and
David Phillips were each paid $33,564.
• The International Society for
Animal Rights spent $398,808; claimed to spend
$317,485 on programs, against $81,323 (20%) on
