BEDROCK Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hello, I was wondering what the best title would be to describe these organisations and if they all can be classed as non-profit?

BTCV Age UK Heeley City Farm The Prince's Trust Sheffield Wildlife Trust British Heart Foundation They're all charitable organisations aren't they? Unfortunately a lot of charity is big business these days and abuses the name making minimised or tax free profits by naming itself a charity.

megalithic Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 All surpluses are re-invested towards the aims of the charity / organisation instead of being paid as dividends to shareholders. Though i'd hazard a guess one or two of them have fat cat directors doing very nicely from peoples donations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaf andy Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 not sure when this was accurate, but the average then was eighty thousand pounds...! http://society.guardian.co.uk/salarysurvey/table/0,12406,1042677,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Directors". ie board members, usually get expenses only - or a small attendance allowance. Chief execs may get a very good salary consumarate with the size of the organisation. The number of people who'll run a big organisation for next to nowt (and have owt like the ability to run it) is approximately zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDROCK Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Well it seems like these fat cat owners employ the lowest common denominators to do their biddings hence why these charities often suffer at foot level because the volunteers get taken advantage of and the paid members who oversee the volunteers are often overworked.

"Owners"? Intrigued by your understanding of the term. Point out the "owner" of any of the charities you listed in the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i know they are a necessary evil but it still grates knowing donations are going to pay top whack wages for the few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDROCK Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 I meant chief executives or vice presidents who run these type of organisations, they are owners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
