Maybe I'm just plain ignorant but I thought charitable organizations wrote off salaries on their taxes (as long as they are reasonable for the position). Churches do it all the time. Most "professional" preachers get paid and often get their houses and other expenses paid by the church. I'm not saying it's lucrative but it doesn't keep them from losing charitable status.
- rexreed 4y agoYou still have to have money to pay people. Having volunteers instead of employees means you don't need to pay people. Not having to pay people means you don't need to raise as much money. It's not about paying taxes on the salaries, it's about affording the salaries in the first place.
