This organization gets a lot of favorable press because it is all PR and no substance. In 2007, the President, COO and CFO were paid $140,000, $135,000, and $109,000 (via a consulting contract) respectively. This top-heavy organization therefore paid $384,000 (before benefits) for its top 3 staff members when the organization's total revenues for the year were only $542,000. Can anyone beat that for overhead ratio? The result: a whopping $393,000 deficit -- and a lot of PR promises with little or no substance.
