lol, what really happened at this non-profit? do they share their funding and operating expenses?

The “president and ceo” is bringing in over $500K a year.

Total nonsense.

  • 500k to the CEO of an organization bringing in $25m/yr in revenue isn't that crazy.

    In hindsight, it doesn't look like they did a great job running it, but the comp package doesn't seem crazy at that scale.

    • For comparison, the CEO of the wikimedia foundation (wikipedia) makes 520K in an organization that brings in roughly 190 million per year.

      I dont really know what is normal for these types of things.

    • Would you say the captain of the ship brought $500K of value to the team? $25M/yr in revenue is very different when it comes from charity and memberships as opposed to building and selling something.

    • while not crazy, it can still be in excess, would $250k been insufficient to make ends meet? I'd be curious to know who decided that was the appropriate compensation

  • Nothing in that budget makes sense. 2.39m executive compensation? 7.4m wages? -14m net income with 23m total assets?

  • > Total nonsense.

    Isn't that the entire point of foundations and non-profits? Massive salaries for their EDs.
