I'll ask the question you're implying out loud.

Why does an organization with about 50 employees need 4 C-level executives, totalling about 2M compensation per year? Or perhaps it's 7 C-level executives (3 hiding under the "Software developer" title) totalling about 3,7M compensation per year?

I'm absolutely not donating money to such a thing without an answer to this question. As a counterpoint, I am a member of a local (Finnish) non-profit organization, one of whose many services is Matrix. This costs me 40 euros per year and none of that money goes to C-level executives.

2M in comp distributed between 4 people is not a lot at this scale in my opinion.

It is for a non-profit asking for donations. If they want half a mill salaries, they should become for-profit instead.

Profit or non-profit is not about paying market rates. Even non-profits have to pay reasonably competitive salaries to attract and retain good employees.

>>tylers+zx2
Competitive is just fine and even expected, but competitive vs FAANG? Seriously?
