The highest paid executive of a Maryland not-for-profit organization earned $7,598,800 from Medstar Health, Inc. in 2020.
There were 4,820 not-for-profit organizations registered in Maryland in 2020.
How not-for-profit executives and staff are paid is an issue consistently under the microscope.
“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.”
