It's easy to make quick judgment and say all personnel for non-profits, which get public funds, should make modest salaries. While in some cases this may be the right thing, to lump them all together does a big dis-service. That may result in getting personnel of lesser quality and capability.
and how many people think The Red Cross is a national non-profit? Actually it's not, but people support it because it seems like one. Altho people at the local level mainly earn low pay, former Red Cross Director Elizabeth Dole received $1 BILLION in salary plus another $1 BILLION in benefits. Was she worth $2BILLION? No. Are some non-profit or government officials worth more than $100,000? Yes.
