#12 Non-Profit Organizations
January 21, 2008 by clander
It is a known fact that white people make up 95% of non-profit organizations. They can’t get enough of them.
They like working there for a number of reasons, the most important of which is that it gives them a sense of self importance. This is important so that they can tell their friends and parents that they are “helping” society, and not just working to make money.
But the sweet side of non profits is that you are paid a competitive salary for your field. So you can be working at a non-profit and still make six figures, and you don’t have accountability or pressure. Again, like most things with white people – you can’t lose!

I work at an NPO and at my current post none of us make a ton of money, but that was very different at my last job. It is a local NPO with 80 full time staff and 100 or so part time and the ED makes about $150K….I made $28K…..this guy is right that wrote the post and those of you in NPOs who think he’s wrong don’t know enough about NPOs. As for the ED making 25K, what is your other job while your NPO is getting started. My guess is htat you’re in the 2nd or 3rd year….but do you plan to keep making 25K?
jesus christ. can all of you people realize that this is supposed to be satirical and not serious?!?!?!
have a sense of humor and have fun with yourself!!!
“Everybody sucks! You’re all pathetic, jack-off posers! Come on, laugh at yourself with me! YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK!!!”
I work at an NPO, make less than 30K a year (with health insurance taken out of my paycheck), my 3 co-workers are Latina, Latina and Jewish and we have to be super careful in our accountability to funders and grantors.
So, whoever wrote the blurb at the beginning apparently made a lot of assumptions without checking out the facts.
Do you really want to live in a world where people don’t help each other?
I work at an NPO in a management position and I make less than 30K a year. That does not include health insurance.
I work as the ED of a NPO and make less than $25k per year.
Well damn…I work at a NPO.

About the nonprofit pay, there are some huge institutions that drive up those average salaries, like colleges, hospitals, and the major nonprofits (United Ways and Red Crosses of the NPO world). If people looked at the nonprofit pay at a glance, they wouldn’t get a clear picture of the realities of working at a small or medium sized NPO.
If you doubt me there are some watchdog groups and articles put out occasionally on the Chronicle for Philanthropy that track executive pay for nonprofits. Some of the CEO’s of local branches of the Humane Society and other national orgs make absurd salaries, well beyond what they should. I think the top earner in the nonprofit world was over 5 million – he was the head of the research arm at one of the NYC hospitals.
