Donations

I don't disagree with you, Jim, however, the job of the CEO is to advance their Mission Statement regardless of industry. Those that do it well are compensated accordingly. We're starting down a slippery slope if we are to consider CEO salaries based on the virtuousness of the company/industry.

The surest way to ensure 100% of your contribution goes to the cause is to donate your time or materials. I am in no way trying to justify these salaries. I too was outraged when I learned how much of my payroll contribution to the United Way actually went to the recipients and took a closer look at the situation; it is what it is.

What if CEO pay was directly related to the metrics of donations and other values the organization holds to be key trackers?

It’s typical for payments to be % based, and good organizations keep non-pass thru donations spending to a fixed %


A company that has a pass thru of 98% would be good, even if the CEO makes $10M a year. I would want that CEO working for me.

James 1:27 KJV - Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Look into helping storm victims in NC and TN. We took a load of donations to Franklin NC last Saturday. We are looking for donations of cold weather sleeping bags or cash (to purchase bags) and will make a trip back soon we hope. It’s slow with donations of the bags so far.
Discover Church and Full Circle Recovery would be glad to hear from you.
