How Much are Silicon Valley’s top Service Nonprofit Leaders Paid?
San José Spotlight examined the most recent Form 990 public tax filings for the region’s biggest direct service nonprofits.
Ann Skeet, senior director of leadership ethics said the range between Silicon Valley’s top 15 nonprofit executives outlined by the Spotlight's analysis is typical for larger nonprofits.
“You want to make sure that you’re paying people fairly and in a way that allows them a decent wage … but you don’t want to overdo it, because you have donors and the public who are saying and have certain expectations around where resources are being directed,” Skeet told San José Spotlight.
Skeet said an organization’s size and complexity factors into deciding compensation.
