Salaries of Charity CEO's

Ever given the salaries of CEOs of well known charities a second thought? Well it came as a shocker to me. Here are a few almost random picks from "charity navigator":

Amnesty International: Larry Cox, Executive Director $210,000
American Red Cross: Gail J. McGovern, President, CEO $446,867
Food for the poor: Robin G. Mahfood, President, CEO $345,245
American Cancer Society: John Seffrin, Chief Executive Officer $685,884
:Donald Thomas, Deputy CEO $1,027,306
Children International: James Cook, Chief Executive Officer: $423,114

Do I need to say more? This maddens me. Why would I support these salaries with my gift? How can they ask people with small incomes to give when at the same time there are CEO's leading these organizations with these outrageous salaries. The figures heading these organizations should lead by example. Clearly, they do not invest their time because they care. Very disappointing. Next time they call you for a pledge first ask what their CEO earns.
