Critics are asking why the CEO of a nonprofit shelter that called police on Senator Merkley makes as much as $770,860 https://t.co/gOgdgdVTn4

“…The amount is nearly seven times what the average nonprofit CEO makes, according to a 2016 study by Charity Navigator, which found that the average nonprofit chief makes just over $120,000.
Of course, Charity Navigator also noted that the bigger a nonprofit’s budget is, the greater the CEO’s compensation will be.
Hendrix noted that the nonprofit had nearly a quarter-billion dollars in revenue in 2015, adding that the high amount “gives you some sense of the scale of these government contracts.”
An audit from 2015 showed that SKP received a total federal award of $227,582,409 that year, with $193,948,228 of that going toward the nonprofit’s “unaccompanied alien children” program.
According to data released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the ORR, the department has awarded SKP a combined total of $310,824,288 in fiscal year 2018 so far, the most recent awards being granted on May 10 in three installments amounting to $99,679,090.
The funds would have been awarded just days after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the Trump administration’s new policy of separating parents and children at the border.
