> pays its executive 100k a year is questionable (you never see that kind of salary in germany) really? Executives are quite important in making sure the organization they're in charge of is well run, efficient and reaches the stated goals. Paying a low salary to an executive for a non-profit will merely make the non-profit less efficient at achieving their goals. Just because it's a non-profit, doesn't mean the workers in the organization should be self-sacrificing their own salary (by accepting a lower-than-market rate). Now, there's a point to be made where if an executive's achievements or effectiveness at directing the organization is poor, they need to be booted, or at least have performance incentives etc. As for the grant being tax-payer funded, i don't see why it is any worse a form of spending than welfare.
