Featuring Spay Neuter Action Project (SNAP)
To support SNAP’s goals of increasing affordable spay and neuter services for underserved pet owners, the SVP team led by Pat Kaufman (Lead), Philip Lurie, and Richard Bockoff began with a deep dive into the nonprofit’s overall health, conducting a SWOT analysis and reviewing past recommendations.
Through financial and program data analysis, the team helped SNAP refine its 2025 budget targets and explore new earned income strategies—including a tiered pricing model for surgeries. The pricing changes received board approval and went into effect late last fall, and early results seem promising. SNAP is poised to become more financially resilient and better equipped to pursue its animal welfare objectives.
Beyond financial stability, this engagement helped SNAP reframe its thinking and appreciate the significance of additional earned income in advancing its mission. The organization now has a clearer roadmap to advance three key priorities: service delivery, funding growth, and brand awareness. SNAP is now better positioned for sustainable impact and feels more confident as it works towards its goal of 10,000 surgeries in 2025.
"The guidance we’ve received from SVP has made a tremendous difference to SNAP. We’re in a far stronger position now than we were this time last year." – Nicole Donnelly, SNAP Board Member
This project's outcome was enabled by a foundation of trust and deep respect that developed between SVP team members and SNAP leadership. The strong relationships built over the course of the project has led SNAP to engage SVP for a second project centered on financial planning, brand development, and board growth—ensuring its long-term success in addressing pet overpopulation.
