Strategic Priority V. Secure Needed Human and Financial Resources
Achieving a “no kill” goal by 2012 requires the effective deployment of both human and financial resources. This priority recognizes the need to diversify sources of funding and outlines objectives to augment public funding with financial and in-kind contributions from corporations, foundations, and individuals. It calls for both increasing the staffing levels to meet future program needs and continuing to expand critical role of volunteers in carrying out program goals. It also encourages the City of San Antonio to use matching funds as a catalyst to encourage organizations to support the initiatives outlined in the strategic plan.
