Well, the holidays are here and the Brandywine Valley SPCA has sent out letters requesting donations. I went on to their website to take a look at the Form 990 for the past couple of years to get a feel for how the organization is doing . According to the Form 990 for 2014, Adam Lamb, the Executive Director, was paid $40,866. On the Form 990 for 2015 Mr. Lamb's salary is reported to be $175,712, an increase of $134,846!! I find it difficult to understand how a small, non-profit organization can justify such a large salary . They solicit donations. How much of the money which is donated is used to care for and help animals? How much goes toward executive and staff compensation? It would appear that the Brandywine Valley SPCA is doing quite well. My money will go elsewhere.
