Individual Compensation
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, December 2005:
Individual Compensation
(Chief executives &/or top-paid staff & consultants)
Nonprofit chief executive salaries rose 2.2% in fiscal 2004,
according to a national survey by the Nonprofit Times. Fundraisers’
salaries rose 15%, said the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
The Pay column below is information taken from the IRS Form
990 filings of those organizations listed in “Who gets the money?”
that have filed Form 990. Since balance sheets rarely include
equivalent data, and nations other than the U.S. do not require
public disclosure of individual compensation, no compensation data
is presented for other organizations. Pay combines salaries,
benefit plan contributions (if any), and expense accounts for the
few people who are not required to itemize expenses. Some
independent contractors such as attorneys, accountants, and
consultants are listed as well as directors and regular staff.
Included below are chief executive officers, highest paid
staff if other than chief executives, and other top-paid staff of
note, for example often quoted in news coverage, as well as close
relatives of top-paid staff who may also be in leadership positions.
Chief executives who claim no compensation are listed as
OthrIncm, short for “has other income.” Where possible, the
occupations of those who have other work are identified. Others are
most often retired, supported by a spouse, or have investment
income. Some may receive royalties and/or speaking fees.
