Nathan Winograd

Nathan J. Winograd, the president of No Kill Solutions, is a graduate of Stanford Law School and a former criminal prosecutor and corporate attorney. He has helped write legislation at the state and national level, has spoken nationally and internationally on animal sheltering issues, has created successful no-kill programs in both urban and rural communities, and has consulted with a wide range of animal protection groups, including some of the largest and best known in the country.

As director of operations for the San Francisco SPCA, he was instrumental in advancing some of the most progressive shelter programs in the nation. He helped push the lifesaving rate to over three times the national average for an urban community and, at the time, the best in the nation. He oversaw a budget of $8 million per year, supervised over 170 employees, and managed a wide range of programs, including foster care, advocacy, adoption, animal behavior, finance, fundraising, human resources, intake, public relations, animal hospital administration and capital construction.

As executive director of the Tompkins County SPCA in Ithaca, New York, he managed the full range of animal control and adoption shelter services, achieving unprecedented results. He reduced the death rate 75 percent, more than doubled the average gift, closed a budget deficit, created a major donor category for the first time in the organization's history, and built the state-of-the-art Pet Adoption and Surgery Center.

No Kill Solutions is a full-service consultant agency. By providing consulting, strategic planning, conferences, newsletters, and community-specific lifesaving blueprints, No Kill Solutions can help shelters, rescue groups, animal control agencies and coalitions achieve no-kill in their own hometowns.
