The people in charge are getting a very modest salary for a developer, and a extremely modest salary for someone running a 10m/yr organization.

- BoredPositron 1y agoThat doesn't really matter?
- j_w 1y agoIt does matter. People working for a non-profit should not work for free. It's completely acceptable for a non-profit to have an income and assets. Revenue may increase and it would be irresponsible to immediately increase expenses to match when they can conservatively plan for the future. This is said knowing nothing about the company in question, just from my own experience working for a non-profit. Employees still need to be paid.
- BoredPositron 1y agoThe amount they get paid shouldn't matter at all. Nobody said anything about not paying people lol
- whywhywhywhy 1y agoSo if I got paid $50 to write this reply I wouldn't have profited from writing it?
- JamesBarney 1y agoThe OP said if the founder is getting paid a salary it shouldn't be called a non-profit. That is literally what the OP is arguing that people who found non-profit organization shouldn't be paid even a modest salary for their work.
- BoredPositron 1y agoI wouldn't say that a salary is profiteering from a non profit. It's the cost of doing (non-profit) business.
- whywhywhywhy 1y agoso they’re profiting, glad we agree
- JamesBarney 1y agoA non-profit does not mean it does not spend money on anyone's salary. It means the corporate entity does not make a profit.
