Highest Paid Nonprofit CEOs in Florida

46 nonprofit CEO salaries in Florida. The highest-paid earns $23.5M at Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation.

For Florida'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. 55 Florida 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.
