[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is lots of room to fudge these numbers-- so I am sure if they are reporting 40% to overhead it's higher. The article points out a few ways they did that (like calling their own promo materials "education").

Exactly!

I have no issue with 501(c)3's paying market rates for top talent, but senior executives should not necessarily expect to get what they would in a for profit business.  And it's not the salaries, but some of the other expenses that I found distasteful -- for example the flashy, expensive employee functions where the CEO made grand entrances, like rappelling down the side of a building.  It seems that the CEO and his team have a serious ego issue like some notorious senior execs in certain Fortune 500 companies.  Charities do not need to pay for activities to feed a a "cult of the CEO"[/quote]
Charities are a business (that provide something of positive social value). Funding is a business function of that business. The charity needs the best talent to achieve that goal and they have to pay for it.[/quote]

But there are parameters which are considered acceptable, which is try charity watchdogs rate them.  Moreover, there are legal and tax-related constraints on paying excess compensation, particularly top leadership.[/quote]
