I have to agree with the previous statement by Jurgen1919- The co-founder is paid far too much! I had actually thought of donating to Michael J Fox Foundation, but with those kinds of figures, I don't think I will be. It's too bad too because I've always adored Michael J Fox and the work he's done. If those salaries would come down I would then think about donating.
salary info not visible on 990 on fox website

There is no salary info on the Fox Foundation 2007 990 that is posted on their site - it is missing for the five highest paid employees (statement 39, page 62) and for the current officers, directors and trustees (statement 36, page 59). I say missing because there IS salary info on the 2007 Fox Foundation 990 that is posted on Guidestar, and that one is identified as having come from the IRS. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the only info that can legally be concealed on a 990 is donor info.
High Paid

$470,599 is a lot of money to pay the president. It is one of the highest figures I've seen. I wold give to a similar organization that was more frugal with the its donor money, especially since almost all of its donors make significantly less than its president. We are paying to find a cure, not to may the co-founder rich.

Fox is absolute disappointment, a shame

Parkinson's Institute in Sunnyvale, CA is considerably better in addressing needs of Parkinson's patients, as well furthering scientific research. Michael Fox' pales in comparison. Simply compare output, and Fox's unacceptable overhead. Michael you ought do better! Shame on you!!! bziegler@toxco.net
