My Nonprofit Reviews

Response to Ray_7 as to whether $170,000 CEO salary is "fair". Please read Charity Navigator's 2012 CEO Compensation Study. CN classifies Harvesters as a "large" charity; ie, expenses in excess of $13.5 million. Harvesters' profile: 2011 expenses $73 million & CEO's salary 0.23% of expenses. CN's Compensation Study indicates that, for large charities in the Midwest the median salary was $233,672 and based on size category: 2010 median was $245,671. For charities with expenses in the range of $50-$100 million, the median was $297,454. So, I think Karen Haren's salary of $170,000 is definitely fair.
