While I see your point, "CEO/Executive Pay" is a poor indicator of waste in these organizations. Fundamentally, Non-profits need to operate like businesses, in the sense that their balance sheets need to remain stable and their income needs to cover their costs. The difference between a non-profit and a corporation of course exists, in their respective names imply, in who they're beholden to. Non-profits exist to not make a profit, where "for-profit" corporations exist to deliver a profit to their shareholders. For-profit corporations pay their CEOs exorbitant amounts as well, and for non-profits to recruit talent, they have to do the same.
