How Do "Civil Servants" and "Non-Profit" Personnel Become So Insanely Rich? Simple, They're Just Stealing Public Money and Calling Themselves Heroes for It​

This goes on in every single NGO. Leftist government functionaries send billions of dollars to their leftist pals who run these embezzlement factories, knowing that when they exit government they will get put on the board of an NGO and get paid off themselves.

Minnesota food bank CEO steps down as legislators question her $721K salary

Second Harvest Heartland defended its executive compensation and financial stewardship, but some legislators are concerned by the "out of control" salaries at nonprofits requesting public dollars.

Minnesota's hunger crisis is growing--and apparently so is the appetite for big executive pay at one of the state's top food nonprofits.

"Nonprofit" just means that none of the money will go to shareholders. It will all be poured into the bank accounts of the principals running the "nonprofit."

Allison O'Toole, CEO of Second Harvest Heartland, earned $721,000 in total compensation in 2022--even as the nonprofit has lobbied for taxpayer funding and warned of rising hunger across Minnesota, where 26% of households with children are food insecure, according to its own research.
Now, as O'Toole steps down after six years at the helm, lawmakers are raising questions.

Now? Oh right, this is Communist-Held Minnesota, which, let's face it, we should just make officially part of Canada already.

Rep. Pam Altendorf, R-Red Wing, told Alpha News that O'Toole's salary issue first surfaced during a recent "food day" at the Capitol, when food shelf representatives, including O'Toole, testified before the House Children and Families Committee.


"Rep. Bjorn Olson pulled the 990 [tax form] and shared Allison O'Toole's salary with our committee members right before she testified," Altendorf said. "That's when the questions started."

Rep. Marion Rarick, R-Maple Lake, later raised the issue during a March 17 House committee hearing where a DFL lawmaker questioned why a GOP bill was reducing funding for Second Harvest Heartland in a proposed agriculture budget.

"It looks like the base funding for Second Harvest Heartland is $3.4 million and you reduce it by $900,000 in both the first biennium and the tails," said Rep. Zack Stephenson, DFL-Coon Rapids.

But Rarick said she thinks the organization "can handle it."

"They do have a $260 million, that's their gross revenue," she said during the hearing. "What's even more interesting, I think, is that their CEO, their top person, makes $721,000. Yeah, $721,000 is the top person ... and they have 10 people that make more than the governor, which is more than $150,000. So that's well over $2.6 million in their highest-paid people."

About a week after the salary figures were brought up at the committee hearing, Second Harvest announced O'Toole's resignation.

...

Altendorf also pointed to what she sees as a deeper issue. She says the nonprofit hired a "voter engagement coordinator" in 2024 to conduct get-out-the-vote efforts--something she calls "a huge conflict of interest" for an organization receiving taxpayer dollars.

"The public is waking up to the money funneling system happening within the Minnesota state government," Altendorf said. "And I'm hearing loud and clear--taxpayers have had enough."

This is an organization with a budget of $260 million, 250 full time employees and over 1100 food distribution outlets.

How much money SHOULD their top executives receive? Their full time staff are paid less than 10% of their total budget.

You fools seem to think that if you work for a non-profit, should should be working for free.

That has to be the worst website design I have ever seen.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

They hate Trump because he hates them.

That simple.

 

[hadit]

BS.

To which part are you objecting, the true part?

 

[Edgetho]

It is.

It's terrible but for years he didn't have any advertising. He does now. I think Ace got a deal on some used East German Army software, which explains a lot

Trump is an asshole. That is why people hate him.

A president doesn't have to be a nice man to be a good president. Jimmy Carter was a man of strong character and moral fiber, but not a great president.

We know you hate TRUMP! so much you probably didn't even vote for him, but that's not everyone.

He is spectacular

If TRUMP! was Michael Jordan, you'd say he wasn't a good basketball player. If TRUMP! was Tiger Woods, you'd say he wasn't a good golfer. Need I go on?

Trump is none of those people, so it is a lousy example.

 

[hadit]

It is correct that TRUMP! is not a professional athlete, but that has nothing to do with how the other poster would characterize him. There are any number of comparisons that are valid, because no matter what TRUMP! accomplishes in his lifetime, the usual suspects will claim he's not any good at it. It's pure sour grapes of course, but they don't seem to realize that.

THIS is what dimocrap scum have brought us. Modern day slavery. But, the democrat party is the historical home of slavery in the United States. No matter how much modern dimocrap scum scream and shout and yell and threaten and burn and rampage and deny it -- the dimocrap scum party is, and has always been, the party of slavery.

That they get their House Ni66ers in here to lie about it is worse than disgusting. I never realized how cheaply loyalty could be bought....... Some Food Stamps here and there, a College loan to a shit College, a crap goobermint job..... Cheap.

“Border Policy Disgrace: Body of a 14-Year-Old Guatemalan Girl Found Dumped in a Rural Tennessee Parking Lot” [Buck Throckmorton – 10/16/2023]

A few days ago, the body of a young teenage girl was found dumped in the parking lot of a small-town Tennessee restaurant along the interstate between Nashville and Atlanta. She was from Guatemala according to the local Sheriff.

This is the embodiment of Joe Biden’s immigration and border policies. While we don’t know what horrors this girl endured on US soil before her death, her ordeal almost certainly occurred because the President of the United States and his Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, have allowed and incentivized it to happen.

Trafficking of foreign children on US soil is unthinkably awful, but it is happening. While we don’t yet know the exact circumstances regarding this girl, it’s probably a safe assumption that her body wasn’t left in that parking lot by loving parents.

An autopsy was performed on the dead girl, and the story gets even more heartbreaking. She was pregnant and shot dead. 14-year-old sex slaves lose their value when they get pregnant.

Pretty sure she can live comfortably on half that so that more kids don't go hungry. But the whole scheme is just a means for Dems to stuff their pockets with taxpayer money and amass millions in personal wealth.

As always, we can depend on you for the moron's take on things. As with the private sector, the salary depends on the total budget of the NGO. Salaries will never be as high as the private sector:

This article says that CEO's of private sector companies with income of $250 million dollars per year are paid, on average, more than $3 million per year in cash and benefits.

https://chiefexecutive.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/CEO_CompReport_ExecSummary_2014.pdf

This woman is being paid $721,000 per year - less than 1/4 of the amount she would be paid for a similar job in the private sector.

Added to which, an acceptable level of expenses in charity and NGO work and fundraising is 15% - 35% of funds administered. 1The gold standard for executive salaries and administrative expenses for NGO's and charities is 15% of donations. This charity is paying out 10% of funds raised in salaries. That's exceptional

Their top executive should be paid a salary which is in line with the budgets that their offices oversee, and the number of employees and volunteers they have working for them. These need to be serious, credible people with connections and experience. Not someone, fresh out of school, looking for their first jobs.

Now imagine how many more hungry children will be helped by a professionally run operation with qualified and capable staff. You need decent wages to attract and keep good people.

Trust Republicans to be constantly picking up the peanuts while being trampled by the elephants.

I beg to differ!
