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.

    If the only reason a ceo wants to work for a charity is the huge paycheck, they have the wrong set of values to run a charity.

    Being a CEO of a charity is not about prestige. This is why a lot of american charities come across as grifts in my opinion.

    You should ask why a person would accept that much money to do that kind of job, they could ask for an appropriate amount but instead take what they can get.
