Joey Teixeira

Senior Director of Philanthropy, Eastern Region

As the ASPCA’s Senior Director of Philanthropy for the Eastern Region, Joey Teixeira works with individual donors across 28 states, bringing over 10 years of animal welfare experience to his fundraising work. Joey started his career with the ASPCA at the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City in 2013 before transferring to the Philanthropy team in 2017.
