TOP 25 COMPENSATION
PACKAGES
The salary information below was calculated by
adding the IRS Form 990 categories of “Compensation,” “Contributions
to employee benefit plans,” and “Expense accounts and other
allowances.” Not included are any benefits received but not reported
in the charity’s IRS Form 990.
When information is given only on the national headquarters
and the charity does not include its affiliates in its financial
statements, “National Office” or “N.O.” appears
after the group’s name.
This table was published in the August 2009
issue of AIP's Charity Rating Guide & Watchdog Report.
NOTE: AIP grades are not based on the salary
ranges reported in the IRS form 990. DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN THE WAY
SALARIES MIGHT BE ALLOCATED, HIGH SALARIES DO NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE
INEFFICIENCIES JUST AS LOW SALARIES ARE NOT ALWAYS A PLUS.
