Getting paid to sell children
Not for Profit?
Thu, 2008-02-21 17:46 — Niels
In my never ending quest for information about the adoption industry, I started plowing through the IRS 990 forms of the various adoption related organizations. I was already aware that the non-profit status of the organizations doesn’t imply a non-profit attitude of the people working within those organizations. The complete list of non-profit organizations was far too long for me to go through, so I took the 50 organizations I knew best and created a list of the people earning more than $100,000 excluding benefits and expenses that can be as $125,465 in the case of Buckner International’s president. This list is by far nor representative, because of the preselection I made, though I hope it is indicative of the personal income being made by these officials of non-profit organizations.

I’m sorry APs were so annoying on your blog. I just started blogging about adoption from an Outsiders Within perspective and just got my first comments from holier-than-thou people as well as some Bible thumping. The funny thing is, my blog also is a blog about spirituality. So to the Bible thumper, I said I’d pray for him. Ha!
I think it is interesting to see the compilation here. I’m both surprised and not surprised.
Well the Evan B. Donaldson Institute isn’t an agency. It’s policy review/think tank/research organization. What I find also disgusting is that while the officers make so much, their staff is usually paid a pittance. I looked into a payroll position at Spence and I think that they were offering low 20Ks for a full time position. For NYC that’s now a living wage.
