Highest Paid Nonprofit CEOs in California

For California's highest-paid nonprofit CEOs, the data below comes from IRS Form 990 Schedule J — the compensation schedule required for tax-exempt organizations with revenue above certain thresholds. 141 California nonprofits file the relevant schedule.

Reading officer compensation requires context: $1M in aggregate officer pay at a $50M nonprofit reads very differently than the same figure at a $5B hospital system. The ratio columns below normalize compensation against organizational revenue. Form 990 Schedule J data has a 12-18 month lag from the calendar year the compensation covers — what you see here is the most recent filing year, not the current year.
