Remember the scandals of United Way back in the early 90's. William Aramony, CEO at that time, went to prison for his misuse of United Way funds. His salary then was less than $500k, and the organization took in around $3 billion. But, he was using United Way as his personal piggy bank. There is often more than just executive salary involved. FWIW, not sure United Way really learned the lesson. There have been several other scandals since the Aramony fiasco.
