When Can Directors Of Charities Be Compensated?

The holiday season is a time to reconnect with family and friends and reflect on the year that has passed. It is also a time of year that many people make charitable giving a priority. 

Many modern charities are complex, multinational organizations with globalized initiatives and a large staff of paid employees, as well as volunteers, who bring those initiatives to life. Several of Canada's top not-for-profit organizations receive hundreds of millions of dollars (and in some cases several billions of dollars) in revenue each year. Given the above, it is perhaps not surprising that some executives at Canada's largest charities are being well-compensated for running these massive corporations.
