Many people are surprised to learn that individual donations make up most of our funding.
In fact, the support of people like you is critical to carrying out our humane work. If you are able to help please call your local SPCA Branch for more information. Half of our Branches derive some additional income from municipal animal control contracts and dog licensing. As well, the BC government provides an annual grant to assist with the cost of training Special Provincial Constables. Private donations to the Vancouver Foundation's Animal Welfare program have also helped us to build shelters in many BC communities, as well as providing essential start-up funding for new programs.
