Marsha J. Evans, the president of the American Red Cross, was paid $651,957 in 2004. The president of the United Way is now Ralph Dickerson Jr. who's current salary is $420,000 per year, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
However, IMO, ALL charities in order to survive in today's world must run like a business. When you have executives like the Bassett's only getting $64,000, house and car .... that's only pennies compared to the 2+ billion they handle each year. The Salvation Army has always been my first choice ... but i've given plenty to the others as well.
