I suppose the rationale is that you have to pay this much to get someone who will do the job well and not lose them to another charity willing to pay more.
I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s probably the reasoning behind it.

Yep, you’re right Mike.

I am a little shocked to see how much their president makes per year.

Comparing it to the salaries of the presidents of other major charities listed on that site, it seems to be about average. In fact, it was quite a bit lower than several others I found (some of which were in the $300-400,000 range.)

I exhale when Christians make the news for POSITIVE things (yes, I just wrote in all caps).

It’s about darn time Elevators – you guys rock!

That said, Heifer International isn’t entirely clear on what the donations go to- they don’t necessarily use the money for what it is donated for (ie: it is put into a pool and used for whatever they want). Here is a link for those interested in what the Charity Navigator says about HI. I am a little shocked to see how much their president makes per year.

I hope that once they get the building, they’ll use a sizable chunk of their weekly income to continue helping the community. And by helping, I don’t mean converting them.

I’d be fine with the converting too, as long as they’re converting them to the kind of Christianity that does these kinds of things. The world needs more people like this regardless of what religion (or non-religion) they are a part of.
