What portion of all donations go to program costs?
We are proud to say that in 2009 and 2010 approximately 70% of online donations went directly into program costs. Conversely, approximately 30% went toward administrative and fundraising expenditures. We are constantly striving to improve this ratio. On our donation page you can choose to limit your donation to Operation Baghdad Pups or Shelter & Emergency Aid. By doing so, your contribution will be used specifically for the campaign of your choice. By donating on the main page, your contribution will be spread out and used where it is needed most. To learn more about our three pillar programs, Operation Baghdad Pups, Shelter & Emergency Aid and SPCA Answers, please visit the Programs section of this website.
