There are 93,131 not-for-profit executives registered in the state.
"We urge donors to be wary of charities that pay salaries hovering near or above $1 million," Ken Berger, president and CEO of Charity Navigator, said. "The purpose of a charity is to provide a public benefit. Every donor and tax payer subsidizes the charitable sector with that purpose in mind, not creating a class of millionaire CEOs."
