In his blog focused on trends and issues in local philanthropy, Bobby Thalhimer, senior vice president of advancement for The Community Foundation, holds up the Richmond SPCA as a example of measurable success.

In thinking about successful and measurable examples, my mind turns to the Richmond SPCA. Notably, when the Richmond SPCA developed its dynamic facility expansion in 2002, their measure of success transcended numbers of spay/neuters or adoptions that could be accomplished at the facility. Instead, they aspired to make Richmond a “no kill” community by 2008 (http://www.richmondspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=newplan). Robin Starr, CEO, frequently appears in the local media and in the halls of local government to influence public opinion and public policy, dramatically broadening the impact of the Richmond SPCA’s own work. Read Robin’s plan, cited above, and you will see what I mean.
