WHO GETS THE MONEY? –– TENTH ANNUAL EDITION

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, December 1999:

This is our tenth annual report on the budgets, assets,
and salaries paid by the major U.S. animal-related charities,
together with a handful of local activist groups and humane
societies, and some prominent organizations abroad, whose
data we offer for comparative purposes. Foreign data is stated
in U.S. dollars at average 1998 exchange rates.
Most charities are identified in the second column by
apparent focus: A 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,
N for neutering, P for publication, R for animal rights, S
for shelter/sanctuary maintenance, V for focus on vivisection
issues, and W for animal welfare. The R and W designations
are used only if a group makes a point of being one or the other.
Charities of unique purpose may not have a designation letter.
While many groups are involved in multiple activities,
space limits us to providing only three 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 1998.
The basic income, expense, and data figures on any
U.S. charity, but not the salary data, is available to
anyone––free––at >>www.guidestar.com<<.
We provide further context. For instance, 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 priorities––than the IRS
rules, which allow charities to write off some direct mail costs
as program service under the heading of “public education.”
O u r % column states each charity’s overhead and
fundraising costs as declared to the IRS. The ADJ c o l u m n
states those costs as they appear to be under NCIB guidelines,
which we apply in simplified form, asking of any mailing,
“Would this have been sent if postal rules forbade including a
donor card and a return envelope?” If the answer is no, the
mailing should be considered “fundraising,” not “program.”
Differences between the declared and adjusted balance
between program and fundraising/overhead spending
appear in boldface. For certain smaller charities, which use
Form 990-EZ instead of the longer Form 990, we cannot accurately
separate program expenses and overhead. However,
since such charities rarely have paid staff or do much fundraising,
one can presume a heavy tilt toward program service.
Groups which collect interest on large endowments
tend to have less overhead because they are not obliged to
spend as much on fundraising.
Shelters, sanctuaries, and some activist groups
which rely heavily on volunteer labor and donated supplies by
contrast tend to have “high” overhead because much of their
program activity doesn’t show up in strict cash accounting.
The practice of ascribing direct mailings to program
service instead of fundraising reflects the common but erroneous
belief that the best-run organizations have the lowest
fundraising and other overhead costs relative to program service.
But calling direct mail appeals “program service” in the
name of humane education has devalued the very concept of
humane education to the point that fundraising for genuine
humane education and outreach has become a very hard sell.
The seventh through ninth columns provide data on
assets. Italics indicate a deficit. Note that shelters and sanctuaries
tend to have more fixed assets (property and equipment)
due to the nature of their work. Do not expect total assets to
match the sum of fixed assets plus cash and securities. These
are the major asset categories, but the totals include others such
as inventory, and may also be reduced by liabilities.
The NCIB also suggests that, “Usually, the organization’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.” However, not all cash and securities
are actually available; many older organizations derive half or
more of their income from interest.

according to a note
attached to the filing.
O – The Humane
Society of Ventura
C o u n t y was legally
represented in 1997-
1998 by Bill Wewer,
of Helena, Montana.
A report that he had
died in San Francisco
was telephoned to the
city medical examiner
on April Fool’s Day
1999. Founder of the
National Committee
to Preserve Social
Security and Medic
a r e, Wewer was in
1984-1985 investigated
by Congress and
reprimanded by the
Justice Department
for his direct mailing
practices. Leaving the
NCPSSM, Wewer
formed the Doris Day
Animal League i n
1986, but left it in
early 1990 to join the
anti-animal rights

NOTES
(continued)
Wewer boasted in
early 1997 that he was
under deep cover within
an animal protection
group, we identified a
person whom we suspect
was Wewer,
employed as “ R i c k
S p i l l ” by the A n i m a l
Welfare Institute
since 1993. He had
cofounded the C e t a c –
ean Freedom Network
in 1995. The
name “Rick Spill”
was also used in 1986
by a spokesperson for a
conservative political
group Wewer was associated
with. “Spill” left
AWI in May 1997 and
all but vanished. A
rumor that he had resurfaced
reached us in midNovember
1999, but
was not substantiated.
P – I F A W p r o v i d e d
$4,647,615 in management
services to seven
of the 14 total I F A W
affiliates during 1998.
The balance was allocated
36% to programs and
64% to overhead. Subtracting
the value of services
provided to affiliates,
some of which do
no independent fundraising,
I F A W o v e r h e a d
expense drops from 46%
to just 19%.
Q – The Limbe Wildlife
Centre, of Cameroun,
in 1998 handled 64 nonhuman
primates, 40
birds, 13 large reptiles,
and three ungulates.
Income for 1997 and
1998 combined came to
$73,482; 68% was
donated by the I n t l .
Primate Protection Lg.
R – Living Free filed as
a private foundation. In
June 1998, president
Sunderland Everstill
instituted “budget cuts in
all areas,” because, he
said, expenses threatened
to erode the $3 million
endowment left by
founder Emily Jo
B e a r d, who died in
1989. In 1998, 16% of
the Living Free budget,
29% of the payroll, and
20% of the program
costs were Everstill’s
own compensation.
S – The Massachusetts
S P C A realized income
of $17,424,465 from
program services in
1998, 95% of it from
fees charged for veterinary
care at the Angell
Memorial, Rowley
Memorial, and Nantucket
animal hospitals,
and received $7,991.397
in securities revenues.
Among MSPCA subsidiaries,
the M a r y
Mitchell Humane Fund
had assets of $5.8 million
and spent $235,469
on programs. The
American Fondouk
Maintenance Committ
e e had assets of $5.5
million and spent
$244,081 on programs.
The Alice Manning
Trust had assets of $1.7
million and spent
$105,286 on programs;
and the A m e r i c a n
Humane Education
S o c i e t y , with assets of
$2.5 million, spent
$128,753 on programs.
A former MSPCA subsidiary,
O p e r a t i o n
Outreach USA Inc. ,
self-described as a literacy
program for
school children, cut
ties in 1997. It ended
fiscal 1998 with assets
of $613,290, had spent
$891,150 on program
service during the year,
had overhead costs of
$222,798, and paid
president Judy Golden
$78,708. The
Operation Outreach
program description
made no reference to
animals, but the books
it uses tend to emphasize
humane values.
T – The relatively high
Natl. Canine Defence
League ADJ figure
appears to result from
expenses associated
with raising $4.4 million
toward the cost of
adding two new dog
rescue centers to the
NCDL network, and
renovating a third.
Info is from a balance
sheet. (See page 20.)
U – The National
Humane Education
S o c i e t y in 1998 raised
$9,201,506 and had
assets of $3,537,157,
reports >>www.guidestar.org<<.
The Peace
Plantation Animal
Sanctuary, with a significantly
overlapping
board, had income of
$902,603 and assets of
$59,099. G r e e n e r
Pastures Equine
S a n c t u a r y, also with
a significantly overlapping
board, had
income of $44,500 and
assets of $25,820.
V – N E A V S g r a n t e d
$235,000 toward finding
alternatives to animal
research; $89,000
to PCRM; $31,619 to
United Poultry Concerns;
and $30,000 to
the Humane Education
Committee, of
New York City.
W – The Ocean Mammal
Institute p r omotes
ecotourism to
support research projects.
It declared both
the $34,598 cost of
“tours and trips” and
the $2,881 cost of
related advertising as
program expenses.
X – The Peace Parks
F o u n d a t i o n is a
World Wildlife Fund
subsidiary set up in
1997 “to promote
Transfrontier Conservation
Areas in Southern
Africa,” says the
purpose statement. It
appears to mainly buy
land for transfer to
national management.
Y – PETA did not send
14 attachments filed
with IRS Form 990 to
more fully describe
financial particulars.
Among the missing
items was the “Statement
of Program
Service Accomplishments,”
needed to

clarify program vs. overhead spending.
Z – The Peregrine Foundation
received $1.5 million––32% of total
budget––in government grants. The
Peregrine Fund declared archives on
falconry, including medieval manuscripts,
as an asset worth $571,273.
AA – The Rhino Trust lost $23,305
in 1998––69% of its opening assets.
BB – The Sea Shepherds filed IRS
Form 990 before incurring most of the
costs associated with the 1998-1999
vigil they kept against Makah whaling
in Puget Sound.
CC – The SPA de Lyon et du Sud
Est had a 1998 deficit of $520,857.
DD – The Society for Protection of
Animals Abroad was formerly called
the Society for the Protection of
Animals in North Africa.
EE – SUPRESS d.b.a. The Nature
of Wellness in 1998 lost $299,112.
FF – Tiger Haven data is from the
fiscal year ended on 1/31/97. The IRS
claims to have no newer return.
Ruling on a 1996 complaint, a
Tennessee chancery court held in mid-
1999 that Tiger Haven exists in violation
of zoning. The Roane County
commissioners voted against granting
a variance. The case is reportedly
under appeal. (See note #31.)
GG – Turpentine Creek claimed as
program expense $62,472 in promotional
costs and cost of goods sold to
raise funds, usually considered
fundraising costs. Also claimed as
program costs were $50,814 in itemized
categories usually declared as
management cost. (See note #33.)
HH – The Whale & Dolphin
Conservation Society balance sheets
cover an 18-month interval. As all
other data on these charts is for a
recent 12-month interval, we have
prorated the WDCS data down to 12
months. A note on the balance sheets
explains, “The 1997 results [part of
the 18-month interval] have been
restated on the guidance of the Charity
Commissioners. As a result, only
pure administrative costs are now
included within administration and
management expenditure.”
II – The major project of Wild
Burro Rescue is rescuing feral burros
from the Mojave National Preserve
and Death Valley National Park, so
that they will not be shot by the Natl.
Park Service. As this is costly work
which must be done early in the year,
WBR enters each year with far more
cash on hand than the normal balance.
JJ – The Wildlife Conservation
Society spent $40 million to run the
Bronx Zoo; $11 million to run the
New York Aquarium; $12 million to
run the Central Park and Prospect
Park zoos; and $9 million on international
projects.

INDIVIDUAL COMPENSATION (EXECUTIVES, DIRECTORS, TOP-PAID STAFF AND CONSULTANTS)

The Pay column below combines salaries,
benefit plan contributions (if any), and expense
accounts for the few individuals who are not required to
itemize expenses. Individual independent contractors
such as attorneys, accountants, and consultants are
listed as well as directors and regular staff.
The IRS does not require disclosure of nonboard
compensation under $50,000. British charities
must disclose the approximate amount of their highest
salaries, but not who receives them.
Salory norms identified as SAWA come from
the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators annual
survey of Salary and Personnel Practices. Since
SAWA does not see fit to share the findings, we are

Compensation notes

1 – Paul Irwin in 1998 “accrued
ongoing deferred compensation
pursuant to board-approved agreements
of $15,434,” states the HSUS
Form 990, adding that Irwin
“received $311,502 as part of a
retirement benefit authorized through
a board-approved separate retirement
plan designed as a make-up benefit to
restore certain benefits lost as a result
of federal regulations imposed upon
the society’s defined benefit plan.”
Craig Irwin is Paul Irwin’s son.
2 – Roger Caras has retired. Larry
Hawk, now ASPCA president, formerly
headed PETsMART Charities.
3 – Includes payment from MSPCA
subsidiaries. Gus Thornton also
receives use of a car.
4 – Richard Avanzino retired from
the San Francisco SPCA on December
31, 1998, to head Maddie’s
Fund. Succeeding him at the
SF/SPCA is Ed Sayres, formerly
head of PETsMART Charities and,
before that, the animal division of
the American Humane Association.
5 – Robert F.X. Hart left AHA in
October 1999. His interim replacement
is six-year AHA board member
Timothy O’Brien, of Denver.
Carol Moulton left AHA in June.
Replacing her is Connie Howard.
6 – Peggy and Kenneth Cunniff
are wife and husband. NAVS Form
990 filings in 1989-1994 identified
Kenneth Cunniff as an independent
contractor. ANIMAL PEOPLE
pointed out in June 1996 that he had
drawn compensation from NAVS at
times reaching $100,000 plus use of a
vehicle, while running his own law
firm. Since then, NAVS lists him as
“Kenneth Cunniff, Ltd.”
7 – Tim Brennan has left IFAW.
8 – Bonnie Brown, DVM, of the
North Shore Animal League, is not
the same person as Bonney A.
Brown of Best Friends.
9 – Mark and Delia Owens are
husband and wife.
10 – Stephen Preston has left the
North Shore Animal League.
11 – Stewart J. Hudson replaced
William Kaschak at the Jane
Goodall Foundation in mid-1998.
12 – Javier Burgos leases office
space to SUPRESS d.b.a The
Nature of Wellness, at $22,800 per
year. Hoorik Davoudian, vice
president of SUPRESS, took no
salary in 1998, but her firm, New
Health Inc., was paid $88,800
for “Programs/campaigns design
implementation and management.”
13 – Includes payment from both
FACT and Nest Eggs Inc., a forprofit
subsidiary.
14 – Many Greenpeace personnel
listed on the current IRS 990 may
have worked less than the full year.
15 – The Universities Federation
for Animal Welfare stated that,
“One employee earned more than
£40,000 in the year.” Other British
charities stated that their top-paid
personnel earned “less than” a stipulated
amount. In a uniquely candid
footnote, the Universities Federation
added, “Due to the limitations of the
recording system, it is not possible
to identify a significant element of
charitable work undertaken by the
administrative staff. The costs of this
work have therefore had to be included
under administration.”
16 – Wildlife Waystation also paid
Martine Collette $54,000 for use of
land bought with her personal credit.
17 – Ronald Cohn and Penny
Patterson are identified by other
media as “partners.”
18 – Bonnie and Brad Miller are
wife and husband.
19 – Roberta Wright and Kim Cain
are no longer with NEAVS. The
current NEAVS executive director
is Theo Capaldo. They were paid
a combined sum of $53,000 in 1998.
20 – Celeste and Chris Fripp
are wife and husband.
21 – Ingrid Newkirk may also get
housing and transportation.
22 – Kim Bartlett and Merritt
Clifton are wife and husband.
23 – Lorri and Gene Bauston are
wife and husband. They also receive
housing at Farm Sanctuary.
24 – Stephen Tello and Wally Swett
also receive housing at the sanctuary.
25 – Pat Derby and Ed Stewart are
partners. They also receive housing
at PAWS plus transportation.
26 – Elinor Molbegott was executor
for ARI founder Henry Spira, who
died in Sept. 1998, and was acting
ARI chief officer until the mid-1999
arrival in the U.S. of new ARI president
Peter Singer, formerly in
Australia, and the hiring of new ARI
coordinator Susan Porto.
27 – Evelyn M. Moshier is paid for
eight hours per week.
28 – Karen Davis also gets housing.
29 – Diana and Gene Chontos are
wife and husband.
30 – Alex Hershaft rented office
space to FARM in 1998 for $22,765.
31 – Mary Lynn Parker is wife of
Joseph Donovan Parker, the major
voice of Tiger Haven and a longtime
bingo operator whose games have
repeatedly been halted by Tennessee
and Kentucky law enforcement.
Accused of skimming $50,000 in
1986-1997 from bingo games held to
benefit Knoxville Young Set, a nursery
school and kindergarten, Parker
turned prosecution witness in a joint
federal/state probe of alleged corruption
in bingo gambling. His 8-month
sentence for conspiracy and tax evasion
was cut to three months in a
halfway house. He opened a bingo
hall to benefit Tiger Haven in May
1994. It closed in 1996.
32 – Cleveland Amory died in October
1998. His longtime assistant
Marian Probst succeeded him as
president of the Fund for Animals.
Neither was ever paid by the Fund.
33 – Turpentine Creek cofounder
Tanya Alexenia Syrenia Smith,
a.k.a. Tanya Gonzelez Smith, in
1998 pleaded guilty to illegal use of
food stamps, settling charges filed as
felonious theft of public benefits.
Smith allegedly declared in applying
for food stamps and Medicaid that
she and her son had no income other
than the son’s Social Security payments,
and had no other resources.
Turpentine Creek had actually paid
Smith $5,000 per month rent since
April 1, 1994; paid her $20,000 plus
5% interest, 1992-1994; and paid
her $34,122 from January 1995 to the
date the case was filed. Smith was
also paid for leasing two vehicles to
the foundation until July 1, 1997.
The current Turpentine Creek IRS
Form 990 filing declares that, “Title
of refuge land is in the name of the
foundation president (Smith), and is
reflected on the foundation’s books
as being leased from her at the same
cost as her mortgage payment.
Living facilities at the refuge are
furnished to the on-site managers so
they can be readily available to care
for the animals.” Thus it appears that
Smith receives both housing and the
$60,000 reported by Turpentine
Creek as the cost of occupancy––
and keeps title to the land.
