THIS WORK ENHANCES THE WAY LAW ENFORCEMENT AND VETERINARIANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY RESPOND TO ANIMAL CRUELTY. THE NEW YORK CITY-BASED ASPCA VETERINARY FORENSIC SCIENCES TEAM HANDLES CASES THAT COME IN THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT. IN 2023, THE NYC TEAM SUPPORTED MORE THAN 350 CASES OF SUSPECTED ANIMAL CRUELTY. ASPCA VETERINARY FORENSIC SCIENCE CENTER IN GAINESVILLE, FL, IS THE FIRST FORENSIC LAB IN THE UNITED STATES DEDICATED SOLELY TO SUPPORTING LAW ENFORCEMENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVELY HANDLING COMPANION ANIMAL CRUELTY CASES AND SHARING KNOWLEDGE WITH OTHERS IN THE FIELD. IN GAINESVILLE, VETERINARY FORENSIC EXPERTS PROVIDE SERVICES CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION OF ANIMAL CRIMES FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY. THESE SERVICES INCLUDE LIVE ANIMAL FORENSIC EXAMS, NECROPSIES, SKELETAL ANALYSIS, AND CRIME SCENE RESPONSE. THE CENTER ALSO SERVES AS A TEACHING FACILITY WHERE THE ASPCA SHARES LEARNINGS WITH VETERINARIANS AND OTHER ANIMAL WELFARE PROFESSIONALS TO HELP THEM MORE EFFECTIVELY HANDLE ANIMAL CRUELTY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. OUR VETERINARY FORENSIC SCIENCES TEAMS IN NYC AND GAINESVILLE SUPPORTED ANIMAL CRUELTY PROSECUTIONS WITH EVIDENCE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS IN NEARLY 450 CASES, INVOLVING MORE THAN 1,100 ANIMALS. STAFF IN BOTH LOCATIONS PROVIDED EXPERT COURT TESTIMONY MORE THAN 30 TIMES. IN MARCH, THE FORENSIC SCIENCES TEAM HOSTED A HANDS-ON TRAINING FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AT THE GLOBAL FORENSIC AND JUSTICE CENTER IN LARGO, FL. IN 2023, INVESTIGATORS AND ATTORNEYS FROM OUR LEGAL ADVOCACY & INVESTIGATIONS (LAI) TEAM OPENED AND ASSISTED WITH MORE THAN 65 CASES OF ANIMAL CRUELTY AND ANIMAL FIGHTING, PROVIDING SERVICES INCLUDING INVESTIGATIVE EXPERTISE, CRIME SCENE PROCESSING, SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE, EXPERT TESTIMONY, AND LEGAL REVIEW AND PROSECUTORIAL ASSISTANCE. THROUGHOUT 2023, MEMBERS OF THE LAI TEAM CONDUCTED MORE THAN 50 TRAININGS FOR EXTERNAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS, PROSECUTORS, AND ANIMAL WELFARE AND VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS IN 16 STATES ON TOPICS INCLUDING COMPREHENSIVE ANIMAL CRUELTY RESPONSE AND VETERINARY FORENSIC SCIENCE. DEVELOPING AND SHARING METHODS TO HELP TRAUMATIZED ANIMALS OVERCOME BEHAVIORAL CHALLENGES ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FACING SHELTERS AND SHELTER ANIMALS IS THE INCREASING NUMBER OF BEHAVIORALLY CHALLENGED ANIMALS AND THE LACK OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE RESOURCES TO HELP THESE ANIMALS OVERCOME ADOPTION HURDLES. THE ASPCA IS ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES THROUGH INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE BEHAVIORAL REHABILITATION CENTER (BRC) IN NORTH CAROLINA, THE FIRST FACILITY DEDICATED TO REHABILITATING SEVERELY FEARFUL DOGS; THE CANINE ANNEX FOR RECOVERY AND ENRICHMENT (CARE) IN NEW YORK CITY; AND THE CRUELTY RECOVERY CENTER (CRC) IN OHIO. AT THE BRC IN WEAVERVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, THE ASPCA TREATS SEVERELY FEARFUL DOGS RESCUED FROM CRUELTY AND NEGLECT CASES, SUCH AS PUPPY MILLS AND HOARDING SITUATIONS, AND ANIMALS TRANSFERRED FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. FOLLOWING TREATMENT, THE GOAL IS TO THEN PRODUCE AND DISSEMINATE LEARNINGS FOR OTHER SHELTERS. THE BRC USES OVER 30 SCIENTIFICALLY TESTED BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION PROTOCOLS TO HELP DOGS OVERCOME SEVERE FEAR, TEACH THEM TO FUNCTION AS PETS, AND IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. IN 2023, THE BRC ACHIEVED A CANINE GRADUATION RATE OF 86%. THE ASPCA'S LEARNING LAB AMPLIFIES THE IMPACT OF SHELTER BEHAVIOR PROGRAMS BY SHARING EXPERTISE WITH SHELTERS NATIONWIDE. THESE TRAININGS INCLUDING ONLINE AND IN-PERSON LEARNING, COACHING, AND COLLABORATION HELP ANIMAL WELFARE PROFESSIONALS BUILD ON THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR PROGRAMS, GIVING MORE TRAUMATIZED ANIMALS NEW CHANCES FOR ADOPTION. IN 2023, THE LEARNING LAB ATTRACTED OVER 43,000 ENROLLMENTS FROM MORE THAN 700 ORGANIZATIONS WORLDWIDE. THROUGH THE LEARNING LAB AND ASPCAPRO.ORG, THE ASPCA SHARES INSIGHTS AND TACTICS TO HELP SHELTERS REHABILITATE ANIMALS TO OVERCOME TRAUMA AND SEVERE FEAR. IN OCTOBER 2023, THE LEARNING LAB CELEBRATED ITS 21ST RETREAT FOR A PARTNER ORGANIZATION AT THE BRC, WHERE SHELTER PARTNERS LEARNED FROM ASPCA EXPERTS THROUGH JOB SHADOWING, WORKSHOPS, AND PROJECT PLANNING TO OPTIMIZE THE PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH OF ANIMALS IN THEIR CARE. THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES TEAM (BST) WORKS TO IMPROVE THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OF ANIMALS IN SHELTERS BY STRENGTHENING SHELTER BEHAVIOR PROGRAMS AND ELEVATING THE ROLE OF BEHAVIOR PROFESSIONALS WITHIN THE ANIMAL WELFARE FIELD. IN 2023, BST PROVIDED FORENSIC BEHAVIOR EVALUATIONS OF 386 CRIMINAL CASE DOGS AND PARTICIPATED IN 20 DEPLOYMENTS FOR CRIMINAL AND NON-CRIMINAL CASES. THEY PARTICIPATED IN 36 IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL TRAININGS ON BEHAVIOR ALIGNMENT AND 43 PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY CONSULTS (35 DOGS, 8 CATS). THE TEAM GAVE 16 PRESENTATIONS AT ACADEMIC CONFERENCES IN 2023, REACHING AN ESTIMATED AT 2000+ ATTENDEES. AT THE CRC IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, AND THROUGH TEMPORARY SHELTERS NATIONWIDE, THE ASPCA PROVIDES EMERGENCY SHELTERING, MEDICAL, AND BEHAVIORAL CARE FOR ANIMALS RESCUED FROM LARGE-SCALE CRUELTY CASES AND DISASTERS, HELPING THEM RECOVER AND PREPARE FOR ADOPTION. THE CRC'S WORK SUPPORTS LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ANIMAL WELFARE AGENCIES, ENABLING THEM TO TAKE ACTION IN CRIMINAL CASES. CRC STAFF ALSO SHARE INSIGHTS TO HELP COMMUNITIES RESPOND MORE EFFECTIVELY TO LOCAL CRUELTY CASES AND ANIMAL CRISES. IN 2023, THE CRC TEAM CARED FOR 636 ANIMALS FROM 18 CASES. THE TEAM DEPLOYED 10 TIMES ON NATIONAL OPERATIONS ASSISTING IN RESCUING ANIMALS FROM CRUELTY, NEGLECT, SHELTERS IN NEED, OR NATURAL DISASTERS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C PROTECTING ANIMALS TRAPPED IN CRUEL FARMING SYSTEMS AND PUSHING FOR A MORE HUMANE FOOD SYSTEM IN 2023, THE ASPCA MADE ADVANCES IN ITS FARM ANIMAL WELFARE PROGRAM. WE ADDED OVER 125 NEW PRODUCT LINES AND 59 NEW BRANDS TO THE 'SHOP WITH YOUR HEART' GROCERY LIST AND SECURED COMMITMENTS FROM MORE THAN 20 NEW FOOD COMPANIES TO ADOPT COMPASSIONATE ANIMAL WELFARE PRACTICES. WE INTRODUCED OUR FIRST-EVER FARM ANIMAL POLICY PLATFORM, URGING CONGRESS TO PASS A FARM BILL WITH ESSENTIAL REFORMS TO PROTECT FARMED ANIMALS AND ADDRESS THE CONCERNS SURROUNDING INDUSTRIAL ANIMAL AGRICULTURE. WE LAUNCHED THE HIGHER-WELFARE PET FOOD INITIATIVE, PROVIDING RESOURCES FOR PET OWNERS TO FIND ANIMAL WELFARE-CERTIFIED BRANDS. TEN PET FOOD BRANDS COMMITTED TO THIS INITIATIVE TO HELP IMPROVE THE LIVES OF FARMED ANIMALS. ADDITIONALLY, THE ASPCA LAUNCHED THE ASPCA SUPERMARKET SCORECARD, THE ONLY RESOURCE RANKING U.S. GROCERY RETAILERS ON FARM ANIMAL WELFARE. AT THE INAUGURAL FOOD NOT FEED SUMMIT IN WASHINGTON, D.C., CO-HOSTED BY THE ASPCA, WE JOINED NEARLY 40 ORGANIZATIONS TO DISCUSS BUILDING A HUMANE AND RESILIENT FOOD SYSTEM THROUGH THE 2023 FARM BILL. RESPONDING TO OVER A DECADE OF ADVOCACY FROM FARMERS, CONSUMER PROTECTION ORGANIZATIONS, AND ANIMAL WELFARE GROUPS INCLUDING THE ASPCA TO FIX LOOPHOLES IN THE NATIONAL ORGANIC PROGRAM, THE USDA PREVIEWED THE FINAL ORGANIC LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY STANDARDS (OLPS) RULE TO REQUIRE STRONGER WELFARE STANDARDS FOR ANIMALS RAISED UNDER THE USDA ORGANIC PROGRAM. THE ASPCA SUPPORTED PROGRAMS AIDING FORMER FACTORY FARMERS IN FINDING NEW LIVELIHOODS. THESE INCLUDE MERCY FOR ANIMALS' TRANSFARMATION PROGRAM, WHICH HELPS FARMERS TRANSITION TO CROP OR NON-ANIMAL GOODS FARMING, AND THE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE AGRICULTURE PROJECT'S CONTRACT GROWER TRANSITION PROGRAM, ASSISTING GROWERS IN EXITING THE FACTORY FARMING SYSTEM AND SHARING THEIR STORIES TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM ENTERING IT. WE ALSO ANNOUNCED SIX ORGANIZATIONAL GRANT RECIPIENTS OF THE ASPCA FUND TO END FACTORY FARMING, WHO TOGETHER RECEIVED OVER $200,000. ADVANCING CRITICAL ANIMAL WELFARE RESEARCH IN APRIL, THE ASPCA RELEASED NEW DATA FROM A NATIONAL SURVEY REVEALING THAT 25% OF PET OWNERS SAID THERE WAS A TIME IN THE PAST TWO YEARS WHEN THEY WANTED OR NEEDED VETERINARY CARE AND WERE UNABLE TO ACCESS IT. ADDITIONALLY, 69% OF THOSE WHO INDICATED AN UNMET NEED FOR VETERINARY CARE IN THE PAST TWO YEARS REPORTED AN INTEREST IN USING VETERINARY TELEMEDICINE IF IT WERE AVAILABLE, AND 66% REPORTED THAT THEY WOULD SEE A VETERINARIAN MORE OFTEN IF TELEMEDICINE WERE AVAILABLE. THREE ASPCA VETERINARY SPECIALISTS CO-WROTE A PAPER FOR THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (JAVMA) THAT EXPLORES HOW VETERINARIANS CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE PET OWNERS' CARE DECISIONS, COMMUNICATE IN A NONJUDGMENTAL MANNER, AND HELP FAMILIES TO FIND THE RIGHT PET TREATMENT PLAN FOR THEM. AN ANALYSIS OF THE PAPER WAS PUBLISHED ON ASPCAPRO ON MAY 17. IN APRIL, THE JOURNAL OF SHELTER MEDICINE AND COMMUNITY ANIMAL HEALTH PUBLISHED THE ASPCA CO-AUTHORED ARTICLE TELEMEDICINE, ACCESS TO VETERINARY HEALTHCARE, AND ANIMAL WELFARE, WHICH EXPLAINS HOW EXPANDING ACCESS TO TELEMEDICINE TECHNOLOGIES CAN HELP BRIDGE GAPS IN CARE CAUSED BY WORKFORCE SHORTAGES, INCREASE ACCESS TO VETERINARY CARE, AND HELP KEEP PEOPLE AND PETS TOGETHER. ON NOVEMBER 1, THE ASPCA AND THE ASSOCIATION FOR ANIMAL WELFARE ADVANCEMENT (AAWA) CO-HOSTED THE SECOND ANNUAL RESEARCH FORUM, A VIRTUAL EVENT BRINGING TOGETHER ANIMAL WELFARE PROFESSIONALS TO DISCUSS CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH THAT CAN CHANGE HOW ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS CARE FOR AND PROTECT ANIMALS IN NEED. STRATEGIC FUNDING THAT EMPOWERS ORGANIZATIONS TO PROTECT ANIMALS FROM SUFFERING AND CRUELTY WHILE THE ASPCA IS A WORKING CHARITY, NOT SIMPLY A GRANTMAKING ENTITY, IT IS ONE OF THE NATION'S LARGEST ANIMAL WELFARE GRANTMAKERS, PROVIDING VALUABLE SUPPORT TO ORGANIZATIONS AND PROGRAMS THAT ALIGN WITH THE ASPCA'S WORK TO PREVENT ANIMAL CRUELTY AND SUFFERING. ASPCA GRANTS SUPPORT A VARIETY OF INITIATIVES, INCLUDING INCREASING CAT, DOG, AND EQUINE ADOPTIONS, ADVANCING GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH ON ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES, PARTNERING WITH REGIONAL FOOD BANKS IN UNDER-RESOURCED AREAS, AND HELPING COMMUNITIES BUILD STRONG PROGRAMS TO RESCUE, SHELTER, TRANSPORT, AND SUPPORT ANIMALS, INCLUDING SURVIVORS OF NATURAL DISASTERS. SINCE 2001, THE ASPCA HAS GIVEN $214 MILLION IN GRANT FUNDING TO MORE THAN 3,500 ANIMAL SHELTERS, MUNICIPAL AND GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, RESCUE GROUPS, UNIVERSITIES, AND OTHER MISSION-ALIGNED ORGANIZATIONS AND PROGRAMS NATIONWIDE. IN 2023, THE ASPCA AWARDED GRANT FUNDING TOTALING NEARLY $7.5 MILLION TO 393 ORGANIZATIONS IN 49 STATES, PUERTO RICO, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS ARE ADDED TO RECORDS MAINTAINED BY THE ASPCA'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE ASPCA BOARD IS THE AUTHORIZED COMPENSATION-SETTING BODY THAT REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE COMPENSATION OF THE "DISQUALIFIED PERSONS" OF THE ASPCA. THE ASPCA ENGAGES AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION EXPERT TO CONDUCT A COMPENSATION STUDY TO ASSESS THE REASONABLENESS OF EACH "DISQUALIFIED PERSON'S" TOTAL COMPENSATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF SECTION 4958 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE COMPENSATION EXPERT ASSESSES THE REASONABLENESS OF EACH PERSON'S TOTAL COMPENSATION BASED ON COMPARABILITY DATA FOR THE POSITIONS UNDER REVIEW AND PROVIDES SUCH DATA AND ANALYSIS TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR ITS REVIEW. THE COMPARABILITY DATA IS DRAWN FROM INDUSTRY SURVEYS AND DATA SOURCES FOR COMPARABLE POSITIONS IN ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SCOPE, OPERATING BUDGET, AND TYPE. WITH RESPECT TO "DISQUALIFIED PERSONS" OTHER THAN THE PRESIDENT & CEO, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE COMPENSATION EXPERT'S STUDY AND COMPARABILITY DATA AND THE PRESIDENT & CEO'S ANALYSIS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL'S PERFORMANCE, DELIBERATES, AND VOTES ON WHETHER TO APPROVE THE TOTAL COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATION PROPOSED BY THE PRESIDENT & CEO. THE PERSON WHOSE COMPENSATION IS UNDER REVIEW IS NOT PRESENT AND DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE DELIBERATIONS, EXCEPT THAT SUCH PERSON MAY ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT WILL HELP THE COMMITTEE IN ITS DELIBERATIONS. WITH RESPECT TO THE PRESIDENT & CEO, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE COMPENSATION EXPERT'S STUDY AND COMPARABILITY DATA AND THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S ANALYSIS OF THE PRESIDENT & CEO'S PERFORMANCE, DELIBERATES, AND VOTES ON A RECOMMENDATION ON THE PRESIDENT & CEO'S TOTAL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING PERFORMANCE BONUS), WHICH RECOMMENDATION IT PROVIDES TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS ASSESSES THE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTES WHETHER TO APPROVE THE TOTAL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING PERFORMANCE BONUS) FOR THE PRESIDENT & CEO. THE PRESIDENT & CEO IS NOT PRESENT DURING EITHER THE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S REVIEW OF HIS COMPENSATION NOR THE FULL BOARD'S APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION AND DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE DELIBERATIONS, EXCEPT THAT HE MAY ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT WILL HELP THE COMMITTEE OR THE FULL BOARD IN THEIR DELIBERATIONS. FOR ALL "DISQUALIFIED PERSONS," THE AUDIT COMMITTEE DOCUMENTS THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATIONS CONCURRENTLY WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION BY DRAFTING MINUTES OF THE MEETING AT WHICH THE DETERMINATIONS WERE MADE. THE MINUTES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: 1. THE TERMS OF THE APPROVED COMPENSATION AND THE DATE APPROVED; 2.
