Silicon Valley's high cost of living impacts local nonprofits, leading to scrutiny over executive salaries. Following a review of local nonprofit tax filings, a list was compiled detailing the 15 highest executive salaries within nonprofits in Santa Clara County. Notably, Darrell Evora of Pacific Clinics received $635,035 in 2021-22. Experts argue for the necessity of competitive wages in the nonprofit sector, countering the misconception that nonprofit work shouldn't be well-compensated, as it hampers ability to attract skilled professionals.
"It goes to this notion that we all have in the back of our heads, that when you're doing nonprofit work, you shouldn't be paid for that," CalNonprofit CEO Geoff Green previously told San José Spotlight. "That's a really toxic, dangerous notion in my opinion."
"Experts emphasized the importance of providing fair and competitive wages to nonprofit employees, which can be over scrutinized."
Pacific Clinics, which merged with Uplift Family Services, had the highest paid top executive, Darrell Evora, who received a salary of $635,035 in fiscal year 2021-22.
