Was curious about the foundation I donate to. Turns out about 80% of the donations go to pay the executive director…

That’s an important caveat!
Indeed, it is information from the IRS, as stated in the description. Edit: added to title.
Obligatory reminder that not only US has an IRS; the tax collection agency in Ghana is also called IRS.

Fantastic! Love seeing the CEO pay. Some of the “scam” charities aren’t as bad as I assumed.
That $184M salary for that Massachusetts yacht club is atrocious.
Compensation of certain individuals (e.g., officers, key employees, highest paid) is required to be reported on the public disclosure nonprofit tax return (Form 990). This site makes them easy to find, but the most recent filings can take a while to appear. You can visit or contact in writing any nonprofit directly and they are required to provide their public Form 990 to you.
I’ve worked in one non-profit. It took only a matter of days to figure out that it existed solely to enrich the director.
I started hunting for a new job immediately.
You worked for a shifty nonprofit. There are plenty of good ones out there, they just tend not to be the family foundations, pomeranian rescues or mega nonprofits that sponsor events all over the place all the time.
I agree. I had almost mentioned in my original post that a co-worker had warned me against working in a non-profit before I left, based on her having a similar experience, and I went for it anyway. She was right. It’s not every non-profit, but the problem is rampant.
Child’s Play still seems good, thank God.
It would be cool if they would provide some useful statistics about the aggregated data as well. Maybe something like showing the percentile for pay to the ED/CEO or for the total compensation compared to other organizations in the sector.
I didn’t scour the site so maybe this does exist.
