I was planning to donate the couple bucks I had left over from the year to the charity called “San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance”, I was doing a background check on CharityNavigator and they gave the charity full ratings so it seemed good.

Then I stumbled upon the salary section. What the fuck? I earn <20k a year and was planning to contribute to someone’s million dollar salary? WHAT.

How do they get a salary if they are non-profit? Does the donation money just go to them?

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The org is non-profit, the people working for it very much would like their profit. Yes it's from donations.

Does your bank accept payments of $0? Or the grocery stores? Even if your organization doesn't generate profits, people still need an income to survive...

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

I meant a big salary like that. If you read my other comments. This was a genuine question. OP had good point.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Non-profits pay fixed salaries. Instead of having an owner who “profits” all the extra money left over.

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fixed to THAT much is a crime! Lol.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 1 week ago

It's a percentage (less than 7% of donations for all salaries). They are a very large non-profit...

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s what I was thinking.

I know america has this elitist managment culture of that values people who “earn their worth” and are “entrepreneurial” or whatever, but that doesn’t ever justify a million dollar salary to me.

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago

It doesn't seem like charity if some of your donation goes to the CEO. I understand they gotta make a living but to still call it a charity and run by millionaires that got rich BECAUSE of that charity is ridiculous.

Because they aren't volunteers?
