Salary Gluttons
or The Non-Profit Financial Hall of Shame
Updated 12/1/21
By Dr. Ken Matto
2 Corinthians 8:2 (KJV) How that in a great trial of affliction the
abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their
liberality.
John 12:5-6 (KJV) Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and
given to the poor? {6} This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because
he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
The Apostle Paul had commended the Corinthian Christians for giving money to
help the Jerusalem Church. The fact was that the Corinthian
Christians themselves were in deep poverty yet they gave liberally to help out
other Christians. The Jerusalem Church was in worst financial
shape than the Corinthian Church which was in deep poverty. This
is very much the same situation which exists today. People who
make small salaries are desirable to see others benefit from the gospel, so they
give and with liberality. In the Jerusalem Church, the people
benefited from the help they received from the Corinthian Brethren but in our
day when ministries claim they have bills which must be paid and for outreach to
continue, how honest are many of them being?
Some months ago, I was looking up a local ministry that I was involved
with some years ago and even did fund raising for a major project they had. I
had come to a website called “Charity Navigator” https://www.charitynavigator.org/ and
decided to look up the ministry of “America’s Keswick.” What I found out
shocked me knowing the financial condition that Keswick was in. I was getting
e-mails begging for money and being told about different projects, which is fine
because all ministries let you know their needs so you can pray and give. What
really shocked me was the salary section of the website where I saw the CEO was
getting $118,000 per year which was increased to $136,486 per year in
2017. Keswick’s history has always been a faith history and we used to go for
weekend prayer retreats as Corporation Board members and many times we were told
about deficits which we prayed for and we would see the money come in. The past
head of America’s Keswick was Pastor Bill Raws and he had the title of General
Director and did not take a six figure salary. At present, there are projects
which need to be done but they do not have the money to do them but they always
have enough to pay the $152,574 salary of the CEO.
One thing I have noticed that as soon as ministries took the business
titles of CEO or CFO, immediately the salaries started to go through the
roof. What these ministries do not realize is that they are not businesses but
the Lord’s ministries, only if they are in the truth. I have researched and
came up with 40 ministries and 23 Rescue Missions which I have listed that are
all paying 6 figure salaries to those in charge. Some have treated their
ministries like family businesses by placing their wives and children in their
ministry and then paying them humongous salaries. When I look at some of these
ministries that pay out 200, 300, and even 400 thousand dollar a year salaries I qualify it
as thievery. If they were a business, that would be different but these are
ministries that exist on donations and normally from people who make small
salaries. How many of you donate to ministries are making a salary $300 or $400
thousand dollars per year? I seriously doubt there is a majority but a small
minority instead. Most people are like the Corinthian Christians who gave out
of their poverty to send forth the gospel. People send in $10, $25 donations
monthly and it is a shame that much of that money goes into the pocket of the
leaders of the ministry and without conscience, instead of it going for the use
in ministry where it was intended. It is a crying shame that these guys who
take these 6 figure salaries are literally becoming millionaires on the backs of
their donors.
These 63 ministries that I have listed are those that are not
charismatic. The charismatics are a false gospel and their main preaching is
prosperity and that is why they find no shame in ripping off their donors with
multi-million dollar salaries. I am talking about ministries we hear on the
radio and are always claiming that they cannot finish the year in the black so
everyone get out their checkbook and make a special donation but you will never
see the humongous salaries ever reduced. It is nothing but thievery to take the
people’s donations and stick it in the pocket of the CEO or CFO or some family
member. After a while it becomes nothing but greed.
Now I want to state that I am not saying that the ministries I have listed
are false gospels but their salary ranges are off the charts and ministries need
to set limits on salaries for upper management. Franklin Graham makes $661,199
a year from his ministry and he is a multi-millionaire. Cynthia Swindoll makes $189,437 from Insight for
Living. You mean to tell me that a cap of $50,000 is too little and a person
cannot live on $1,000 per week?
There are Christians living on $300-400 per week, some less than that. The most I ever made from a job
I held was $30,000 a year and that lasted only 1½ years and that was out in
industry, not ministry. When people are hired for these upper positions they
must be told that they are going into ministry and not a business with deep
pockets so they should not expect to be driving a Lincoln or a Rolls Royce on
their salary. So before you start giving to a ministry, do not hesitate to ask
them if they pay humongous salaries or salaries commensurate with ministry?
Here is the list of 40 ministries which have salaries that are out of
control. The next time you hear them on the radio begging for money, find out
what their salary payouts are and if they are ridiculous, then find a ministry
that holds to biblical principles and send your money there. 1 Corinthians 4:2
(KJV) Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. As
we are to be faithful in our ministries, we are also to be faithful in all
avenues of life and that includes finances.
I have added another bit of information for you. Many times when
we look at yearly salaries it does not jar us so I have broken down the yearly
salary by week. Compare it to your weekly salary. This
means that the first donations that come in, pays for the huge salaries.
Anyone who thinks the ministry gets funded before the heads of these ministries,
I have the bill of sale for the Brooklyn Bridge ready to sign over to you for a
fee. I have placed this information next to the person's "title." I
have added another bit of information. It is the amount the salary was raised for the
individual.
The Following Organization(s) have just
been updated on 12/1/21:

Well there you have 40 ministries which pay 6 figure salaries. People
donate to ministries to send forth the Gospel not to pad the pockets of the
ministry leaders or to make them millionaires. I am sure there are other
ministries out there which pay these huge salaries but do not register with
websites like Charity Navigator so they can remain under the radar. I have
taken the stance that I will not donate to any ministry from now on that
squanders their donation income on huge salaries. I have heard some of these
guys preach and believe me, there is no one so profound to warrant a quarter
million dollar salary. The Apostle Paul made tents so he would not be a burden
to the churches and maybe it is time these guys go out and work and get a taste
of what their donors go through every day. Ravi Zacharias was on the Joyce
Meyer show and called her a “great Bible teacher.” Anything to keep the
donations coming in. Make sure you look at how Ravi placed his wife and
and 2 daughters on the 6 figure payroll. Here is the link to Ravi stroking Joyce
Meyer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh5rYB7rYmY
My admonition is that ministries were formed for the Christians to get the
gospel out to the world and this is done by small donations being added to other
small donations making the reaching of the world possible. Ministries were not
formed so the guy at the top gets a 6 figure salary and then whatever is left
over goes into ministry. I have already given an example of this in the
opening. You who donate to ministries which pay salaries in the 6 figures, why
does it not bother you that you are being fleeced by the leaders of these
ministries? My suggestion is that you donate to ministries where ministry is in
the forefront and not a personality with a penchant for riches.
Looking at these ministries and their 6 figure salaries, I also wanted to
check Rescue Missions which literally touch the lives of people. I was happy to
see in researching them that the majority of them do not pay exorbitant salaries
to the ministry managers, however, I did find 23 Rescue Missions which pay 6

It is not only many Christian organizations that pay very high salaries to
the leaders but there are many non-profit secular charities which pay their CEOs
ridiculously high salaries. They claim non-profit but their leadership is sure
profiting. Before you make any donations to these organizations, please keep in
mind the fact that if they can afford to pay their chiefs such high salaries and
perks, then maybe you should consider sending your donations to other charities
who do not pay 6 figure salaries to the big shots. Below are some organizations
which pay high salaries while always begging for money. Keep in mind they are
non-profit while you look at the CEO salary of the American Heart Association,
the Alzheimer's Association, or the United Way!
