While the city initially proposed a more devastating 20% ($3.5 million) cut, the compromise forces the organization to evaluate fee increases and operational adjustments while facing critical shelter capacity issues. By Debbie L. Sklar Public discussion has included questions about the San Diego Humane Society, including shelter capacity, animal control responsibilities, and executive compensation. San Diego Humane Society President and CEO Dr. Gary Weitzman is compensated at more than $500,000 annually, according to publicly available IRS Form 990 filings. Records published through ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer list total compensation of approximately $509,396 in the most recent reporting period, including salary and other reportable compensation. The filing also lists approximately $72.8 million in annual revenue and more than $100 million in net assets. Weitzman has served as president and CEO of the San Diego Humane Society since 2010. Executive compensation within nonprofit organizations is determined through internal governance processes, typically reviewed by a board of directors and informed by comparative data from similar-sized organizations in the animal welfare and nonprofit sectors. Public filings provide one element of that broader oversight framework. Compensation structures in large nonprofits are generally designed to reflect organizational size, operational scope, regional cost of living, and responsibilities associated with managing substantial budgets, staff, and multi-jurisdictional contracts.
