The major donors to SPCA Tampa Bay include local families, private foundations, corporate partners, and charitable organizations who contribute at high levels each year, often recognized in the organization’s annual disclosures and public acknowledgments. They are well intended but uninformed.
Imagine learning that you are donating to an agency that has:
- pleaded guilty to animal cruelty for leaving Waddles to bake in the sun without shade
- posted falsified animal statistics for 12 years
- refused to participate in a county spay neuter voucher program
- abused donor and tax dollars
- had a staff salary increase of 51% from 2021-2023 and 2023 revenue deficit of $2.2MM
- partnered with the puppy mill industry
- had at least 2 petitions calling for the removal of CEO Martha Boden
- had a recent significant reduction in board membership
- has removed from its website the identity of administrative personnel
If you would like to see meaningful change at the SPCA Tampa Bay for the betterment of Pinellas County animal welfare, please consider contacting the major donors listed below. Ask them to reconsider their future financial support for the organization (and why) until there is a removal of the current administrative leadership and entire board of directors.
Messaging one or two donors/day requires only minutes. Let’s help them be better informed.
