I got a look at tax forms submitted to the Internal Revenue Service from Komen for the Cure. This “990″ document — Form 8453-EO –requires charitable organizations to show the salaries of the directors and senior managers of the organization in the year 2010.
The first nine members of the board earned no salary and no compensation of any kind.
The Nancy G. Brinker earned $417,171 to serve as a board member and CEO. She also earned a space $541 in other compensation.
Including Brinker, Komen has 18 people who earn above $100,000. Six earn more than $200,000, including former CEO and president Hala Moddelmog, who earned $277,000 despite working no hours.
Elizabeth Thompson and Katrina McGhee — the former president and executive vice president, respectively — earned $216,000 each. Thompson was compensated $16,177 and McGhee was compensated $12,204.
Mark Nadolny, chief financial officer, earned $277,000 and was compensated $17,280.
Jonathan Blum, general counsel and secretary, earned $210,269 and was compensated $22,124.
Justin Ricketts, CIO, earned $209,541. and was compensated $17,213.
Thanks to Jonathan Ahl for hooking me up with the document.
And here is a more polished document: Komen’s financial papers:

This blog is ECLECTIC. Mostly, I write about politics and media. Sometimes, I post a funny cartoon. Sometimes I post pictures of pretty girls. I am baffled as to why people who visit this blog regularly complain about this.

Don’t you just HATE people that are educated, talented, disciplined, and get excellent jobs? These people should all work for NOTHING I tell ya. Then they can apply for food stamps and get LINK cards! It’s a whole new world out there!!
I offered no commentary on their rate of pay. I ask my readers to provide insight.
I will agree with GOP’er on one thing: that “$277,000 and worked no hours” is an excellent job. Or a goddamn ripoff of somebody, one or the other. Keep trying to defend these people, GOP’er, it just makes you sillier. BTW, when it comes to “food stamps and link cards”, no President in history oversaw MORE new applicants for these two things than Ba…nope, wait, BUZZZZZ…sorry, it was George W. Bush!
And here’s Planned Parenthood’s 990:
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/files/PPFA/PPFA_FY_2010_990_Public_Disclosure_Copy.PDF
A couple of highlights:
* From page 8: “Total number of individuals…who received more than $100,000 in reportable compensation from the organization: 58″
* President Cecile Richards received $306,449 in base compensation, $353,819 if you add her compensation from related organizations, and worked an average of 32 hours per week for it.
I offer no commentary on any of this; just stating the facts.
C.J. – again, I’ll take the $277,000 for NO hours worked over the $353,819 for 32 hours per week. And yes, that is commentary.
An aside: GOP’er, do you admire the 58 individuals who made over $100k at Planned Parenthood as much as you admire the people who made that much over at Komen (including the one that didn’t work a single hour but got paid anyway?)
Again, I have not done a side-by-side comparison between these two organizations. Nor have i compared Komen with any other organizations as far as pay of the people in charge goes. There was a lot of chatter out there about how much the Komen people got paid. I supplied the information, which was available in their Website.
Komen acts more like a corporation in the business of keeping the donations flowing in than a traditional charity. We have the numerous lawsuits over charities using such slogans as “Cupcakes for the cure,” etc. Komen themselves admit that only 24% goes for research and I wonder how much of their education budget is really marketing in the form of all their commercials and all their merchandising tie-ins like pink packages of M&M’s.
I wish Rick Baker was still alive. He wouldn’t have accepted the bs being put forth by the local media outlets that Peoria is “the spiritual home” of Komen. Instead of acting as a stenographer, he probably would have written an expose showing that Race for the Cure was probably another right-wing tax free money laundering operation funneling money to right-wing causes.
