DAYTON DAILY NEWS INVESTIGATES
Executive compensation at area nonprofits
Federal law requires transparency of nonprofits in exchange for getting tax breaks, donations from the public and often considerable government funding. For many, that includes listing on publicly accessible tax forms how much they pay their top executives.
A monthslong investigation by the Dayton Daily News looked into how area nonprofits compensate their top-paid executives as they face revenue challenges and financial headwinds.
- » Nonprofits facing revenue losses say executive pay raises necessary
- » From Wittenberg to Wilberforce to welding institute, area private school leaders’ pay rose as revenues declined
- » CareSource CEO paid $12M as nonprofit revenue dropped $1B
- » Government funding cuts put most Ohio nonprofits at risk
- » Search: How much area’s largest nonprofits pay their top-paid employees
- » How and why we investigated area nonprofit CEO pay
This analysis excludes hospitals, because a previous Dayton Daily News investigation analyzed hospital CEO pay following the pandemic.
Below are 100 of the largest nonprofits in southwest Ohio, their revenues for 2023 and their top paid employee in 2023. Note that this list includes only organizations that have filed a 2023 IRS form 990 — which is required by law — that includes top employee pay. Some organizations file on a fiscal year calendar, so the 2023 data is from the fiscal year ending in 2023.
