What is the salary of the CEO of ASPCA? By Zippia Expert - Dec. 17, 2022 The salary of the CEO of ASPCA is $852,231 per year. They are also entitled to $276,00 in bonuses and benefits in the amount of $47,859.

What bothers me most is older folks get their heart strings pulled on to donate to a CEO that makes more than they might make in their entire lifetimes. Be aware if you donate to charities, check out the administration fees and expenses.

Know which CEOs are giving BMWs to their children with bows on them for Christmas and which one’s actually work for their charities prosperity.

This is why we NEVER donate to Goodwill Industries, even though as a result of their presence they are one of the first organizations to be thought of for donations.

If you want to serve animals in need, volunteer at your local shelter. If you cannot volunteer, then donate to your LOCAL shelter. Sometimes it's too easy to write a check and then feel good about doimg so. Just know WHERE your donation is going....

Excellent post, thank you!

That $25 for a box of food includes the cost of the food, the cost of the box, the cost of the delivery, the cost of the marketing to make sure that there are people donating another box next month...and yes, the cost of her salary. Which is pretty modest for the CEO of a major charity.

You really thinks she uses her own money to travel for organization��

Good for you Sage.

My Favorite Animal Charities

So many "Charities" skim off the top. I received a call from the a "Sheriffs Association." This was not the Florida Sheriffs Association we all give to and proudly put the annual sticker on our car. I looked this new one on line and they only distribute 12.5% for charitable causes. The rest is for "operating costs, Incredible!

I have two special dog charities I have been supporting for years. First is The Seeing Eye in New Jersey. They train dogs for people with disabilities and routinely have an annual auction. I also give to Wings of Rescue. As you might expect, this organization flies disserted pets from disaster areas after hurricanes, tornadoes etc. I often get a phone call of "Thank You" from both.
