As you observe International Day to Combat Islamophobia and work on your taxes (one month to go!) and contemplate your charitable contributions, check out this post from two years ago… Our first grader learns about the non-profit world (American Heart Association):
The CEO earned $2.44 million in 2020,
How’s this lady with a bachelor’s degree doing more recently? For 2023, her compensation is up to about $4.15 million (source):
The organization’s revenue went up 32 percent from $700 million to $926 million while her compensation went up by 70 percent.
(Our local public school is still enlisting children to help raise money for the American Heart Association.)
Just as in 2023, the American Heart Association’s giant medical brains recommend that babies get their first COVID-19 shot at age 6 months. Contrast to the Science-denying Trump-worshipping fools who run the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (previously an exemplar of what government and health care could be) who say that baby’s first COVID-19 shot is at age 75.

Wouldn’t know what the heart & lung associations still do, now that the big thing has been cancer for the last 30 years. The end of smoking & rising knowledge about sports medicine have reduced heart & lung disease. Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death, but cancer is rapidly catching up, after surpassing lung disease. The lion kingdom is predisposed to die from dementia, but fortunately still not demented enough to identify as a human.
Another debauched NPO. If they were so concerned about public health they would recommend avoiding prepared foods instead of working various endorsements and generally whoring themselves out to the food industry, who are largely responsible for the sad state of public health in the first place.
A salary like this reflects the hard work that Ms. Brown must do to manage the people that are actually DOING the work to find cures for heart disease.

“American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown said the new approaches and therapies that have sprung from Framingham’s work have helped her organization to fight heart disease more effectively.”

In 1971, the National Heart Institute entered an agreement with Boston University that provided support for the Framingham Heart Study through a federal contract, thereby ending the need for private donors.
