10 Highly Paid CEO's at Low-Rated Charities
For charities to be successful, they need talented, experienced leaders. Those leaders command significant salaries. But CEO's who command high salaries should also get the most out of the organizations they lead. The leaders of these 10 organizations are taking high salaries at the expense of spending dollars on the charity's programs. Despite receiving more than $250,000 in annual pay, these CEO's run organizations that devote less than 60% of their budgets to their programs and services. That means that at least 40% of your dollars are going to such costs as fundraising and administration, including the salary of the CEO.
