PETA is a nonprofit, tax exempt 501(c)(3) corporation funded almost exclusively by the contributions of our members. We strive to use our funds in the most cost-effective and efficient manner possible, a commitment illustrated by the fact that 82.58% of our operating expenses went directly to our programs fighting animal exploitation. We expended only 16.19% on fundraising efforts that drive our operations and 1.23% on management and general operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-five percent of PETA\u2019s dedicated staff earn under $49,999, and the remaining 65% make more than $50,000. Our president, Ingrid Newkirk, earned $37,724 during the past fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The financial statement shown here is for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025, and is based on our independently audited financial statements. Detailed financial information is available through PETA’s 990 form<\/a> and financial statements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
