As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Global animal veterinary assistance - each year, the spcai distributes critical veterinary medical supplies to animal shelters throughout the world. As a result, organizations with a focus on developing countries have been able to treat more sick and injured animals. These donations, along with financial grants, have allowed organizations to provide successful spay and neuter events throughout the year. Through this program, the spcai has distributed millions of dollars in veterinary medical supplies to shelters on almost every continent.
$10,362,153 spentof which $10,282,877 as grants60% of program spendingEducation programs - the spcai's education outreach reaches hundreds of thousands of pet parents and animal activists every year. Both online and through other media resources, the spcai serves as an information and referral resource for animal lovers throughout the world. Skilled staff research questions, find answers, offer advice and connect those requesting assistance. Every year, the spcai provides support and help to thousands of individuals in need of animal assistance. The spcai's educational programs reduce animal suffering and abuse by raising awareness and facilitating action among like-minded advocates.
$3,581,593 spent21% of program spendingShelter and emergency grants - the spcai gives direct support by awarding shelter support grants to many registered non-profit animal organizations in need of assistance throughout the u.s. And all over the world. These much-needed funds go toward helping many shelters improve their facilities, fund basic needs, including but not limited to veterinary care, support spay and neuter initiatives and ultimately reduce euthanasia rates. Animal shelters always try to plan for an influx of animals, an emergency situation or an unforeseen expense, but many times organizations become overwhelmed. In light of this, the spcai also distributes emergency grants to shelters when they need it the most, in urgent crisis situations.

This highly successful and celebrated program has been reuniting u.s. Service members with their companions since 2008. This program provides veterinary care and coordinates complicated logistics and transportation requirements in order to reunite these beloved pets with their service men and women back in the u.s.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $2.7M to $6.2M (+129%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
98% of SPCA INTERNATIONAL INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (67% for the typical peer).

How concentrated its funding is
SPCA INTERNATIONAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
27% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund SPCA INTERNATIONAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 67% · 2018 86% · 2019 77% · 2020 65% · 2021 92% · 2022 27% · 2023 31% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
30% of SPCA INTERNATIONAL INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 43% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
SPCA INTERNATIONAL INC draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 32 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
SPCA INTERNATIONAL INC's funding base is broadening — from 10 funders to 53 as grant income climbed.
