Executive Pay Median Increased 2% in 2010, Say Latest Chronicle Figures
By Noelle Barton
and Ben Gose
Most executives at the nation’s largest charities and
foundations do not earn nearly
as much money as their counterparts at large for-profit companies, but neither do they face
the wild swings in compensation that are common in the
business world.
In 2009 chief executives at
268 of the nation’s biggest charities and foundations received a
median pay increase of 0.7 percent, according to The Chronicle’s annual survey of executive
compensation and benefits. That
means half got a bigger increase
and half got less or no increase
at all.
As the economy has improved,
chief executives are doing bet-
ter. For the 128 organizations
in the survey that provided data
for 2010, the median increase in
compensation from 2009 to 2010
was 2 percent.
Steady Bonuses
Incentive pay—a big factor in
the ups and downs of for-profit
executive compensation—is not
as volatile at nonprofits.
The portion of total pay for
charity and foundation leaders
that came through bonuses held
steady at a median of roughly
11 percent in 2008, 2009, and
2010, according to an analysis
by The Chronicle.
The steadiness of bonuses as
a percentage of pay is notewor-
thy given that some executives
failed to meet the standards re-
quired to earn a bonus and oth-
ers voluntarily declined bonus-
es.
In 2010, median pay,
mostly including
salary and bonus,
for nonprofit CEO’s
was $387,000.
groups he advises provide incen-
tive pay for top executives, up
from about 10 percent in 1990.
Incentive plans can theoretical-
ly save charities money during
hard economic times, since the
executives are less likely to hit
the fund-raising and other fi-
nancial goals that leaders typ-
ically must meet to receive bo-
nuses.
Highest-Paid CEO’s
Some charity executives make
far more from bonuses and retirement benefits than they
earn in salary.
Steven M. Altschuler, chief
executive of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, earned a
salary of $948,293 in 2009 and
an identical amount as a bonus.
He also received more than $2-
million in benefits, primarily
deferred compensation that accrued over five years.
Children’s Hospital cited Dr.
Altschuler’s “exceptional” per-
