The Bronx, New York is a great borough. In a relatively small geographic area you can find the wealthy and the poor. If I remember correctly, there are more institutes of higher learning in the Bronx than any other similar sized region of the country. And, according to Guidestar, there are 928 non-profits. That is a testament to the caring and compassion of Bronxites. It also makes the Bronx a good “laboratory” for looking at non-profits which all share the same geographic area and, for the most part, the same client base.
CEO compensation, by which I mean the total pay packages of the top executives of non-profits, is a continuing bone of contention. Is anyone worth a $2 million salary? Should half million dollar salaries be paid by non-profit tax-exempt organizations, like nursing homes, that receive almost all of their funding from the government? Can anyone find fault with organizations that pays their top salaried employee less than 1% of their gross receipts?
There are 93 non-profits, out of the 928, who have 990s on Guidestar that show that they have a minimum of $1 million in revenue, and at least one paid employee. As someone who worked in the Bronx for 5 years, I know that the list is incomplete. For some reason my former employer, Morningside House Nursing Home, did not appear on the Guidestar generated list. I added it. There are others missing as well. While incomplete, it is an interesting academic exercise if nothing else. Look at the salaries and look at the percentage of the total gross receipts that they represent. Draw your own conclusions.
The salaries listed are of the highest paid employees. That may be a president, a CEO, CFO, executive director, director, principal, doctor, nurse, coordinator, or administrator, just to name the most common.
Again, draw your own conclusions… (and apologies for the lack of columns... E-mail me if you would like the Excel spreadsheet and I will be happy to send it to you.)
