When people think of St. Jude’s, they often associate the organization with the children’s research hospital but St Jude’s is actually two organizations:
You are viewing: Why Does St Jude Ceo Make So Much Money
- St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (St Jude): the 77-bed children’s hospital that provides research and medical care; and
- American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities (ALSAC): the fundraising arm; an organization that exists to raise funds for St. Jude’s
Although most non-profits do not separate fundraising from services, St. Jude’s does, so both organizations need to be analyzed because St. Jude’s relies on ALSAC for the majority of it’s revenue and has a beneficial interest in the organization.
The following information is based on the most recent Form 990’s (2020 for the year ending June 30, 2021) submitted by ALSAC and St. Jude to the IRS.
ALSAC
ALSAC is managed by 41 voting members (directors) of the governing body (board of directors) of whom 38 are independent; 28 of the 41 (68%) are male while 13 of the 41 (32%) are female (note: gender identification is not reported on the Form 990 so the numbers are based on names and a google search).
ALSAC reported total revenue of $2.4 billion (compared to $1.9 million the prior year). They spent $625 million (26% of revenue) on fundraising expenses, gave St Jude’s $997 million (42% of revenue) and put the remaining unspent revenue – $781 revenue – in the fund assets (think savings).
Of the $625 million in fundraising expenses, $182 million was spent on compensation for the 1,939 employees who received an average compensation of $94,000. 469 employees received more than $100,000 with the 10 most highly compensated employees reported to be:
