Can I request to have my CEO's compensation removed from your website?
No. We include CEO salary solely as part of our larger effort to bring transparency to the charitable sector and to help educate donors. It is a matter of public record. While we are not out to invade people's privacy, we do believe that by posting more information rather than less, we'll help the general public better appreciate the professionalism required to effectively run a charity. Our data demonstrates that the typical CEO salary is roughly $150,000 --- a bargain when compared to executive pay in the private sector.
In recent years, CEO compensation practices at charities have come under increased scrutiny by government regulators. By publishing salaries on our site, we enable charities to benchmark their executives' compensation against that of their peers. This then allows charities to demonstrate their compliance with government regulations in setting a reasonable level of compensation for their top executive.
