Not all “501s” pay their executive “peanuts.”

Some of the larger national non-profits pay their top executives massive salaries. Do a little “googling” about the salaries paid to the top executives of the Red Cross just a few years ago (over $600K/yr for one of them), for example.

I was responding to the comment that, "The long term ones exist in order to make money for themselves." It is a sweeping generalization, and I mentioned why.

Pointing out to me that some 501s pay massive salaries completely is meaningless.

IIRC, the Atlanta United Way got caught with executive extravagance. This was 20-25 years ago I think....massive salaries, luxury offices, limousines, etc.

That was when I started tell my work not to bother me any more with United Way Campaign donation requests.
