You should really look up the definition of a non-profit. It doesn't mean what you think it means. The NFL was a nonprofit and Roger Goodell brought home $44 million last year
When you pay bananas, you get monkeys. 100k is peanuts to what some of these people could make on their own in the consulting world. You have to pay these people to stay around. It would be nice if you could pay a 22 year old right out of college $45k to run CCA but it isn't gonna happen.
Not defending CCA, just defending non-profit conservation organizations as a whole because a whole lot of mistruths have been spouted off here and lies spread just as fast as the truth.
Once again coastal work is very expensive. It would also be nice if CCA or DU or whomever could just be ran with nothing but unpaid volunteers but that isn't going to happen. I have worked on a few very worthwhile restoration projects in south La where we needed volunteers and every single time the majority of volunteers were not hunters or fishermen but blue-haired ladies usually a birdwatching club or garden club. Every single time. Everyone likes to talk the talk but not walk the walk.
Support or don't support doesn't matter but make sure to read up on a few things about whatever organization you choose before making the decision and remember that NO organization is perfect.
