Review for American National Red Cross, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 2 stars  

I will be giving to my local chapter only; the CEO's nearly million dollar salary is just outrageous. I don't buy the idea that "the sky's the limit" on salary to get the "right people." There are certainly talented people out there who would be willing to work for far, far less than that.

Review for Nature Conservancy, Inc., Arlington, VA, USA

Rating: 2 stars  

Others have complained about the Director's pay at $300,000 dollars; that's why I stopped contributing last year. Now it's $482,632. This is a charity, folks! Given how many of the well-known charities are giving their management outrageous amounts, I'm guessing it's for the same reason as Wall Street....they're all on each other's boards and give each other approval for that sort of thing. This is the way I'm sending the message....hope enough people do that they listen.
