    No one knows how much.
    Sure, you'll probably get some smart ass quoting how much he/she thinks they make. But that's just guessing.

    The only logical answer is that they are on something good for what they do. Because if it wasnt worth their while they wouldnt do it.

    That's some cynical outlook ya got there. There's plenty of people out there who just like to help out other people. Lots of them volunteer.

    Is my view cynical? perhaps. you might be right actually.
    Is it realistic however? yes. certainly yes.

    Starting a charity business can be very enticing to a person without certain morals or ethics. Its foolish to think everyone who is involved only does so out of the kindness of their heart.

    heres an article from the Examiner sept 2011, regarding a survey on Charity bosse's salaries

    Enable Ireland appears to pay the highest according to this survey with the CE recieving E156,000

    http://www.emara.org/news/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=6629


    Six charities — Arthritis Ireland, Bóthar, Unicef Ireland, the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Simon Communities of Ireland and Special Olympics Ireland — refused to reveal details.

    Small local one? Most of them do not have fundraising managers at all or CEO's. It's committees and more committees.

    It would be naive to think there wouldn't be a single person on the make, but when you say 'if it wasn't worth their while they wouldn't do it', that's another thing altogether and sounds like you're saying they're all scamming us. It's the kinda thing that gets bandied about a lot and is too often used as an excuse not to stick your hand in your pocket.

    The books should have to be opened to qualify for continuing charity status.

    There is no such thing as a registered charity in Ireland & there is no process for registration.

    You can apply for charitable status for tax purposes with the Revenue Commissioner, but beyond that there is no supervision over what charities do in this country.

    Some charities claim they are registered & give a "registered charity number". This isn't actually a registered charity number, but is in fact their VAT number.

    Way too much. Most charities are businesses really designed to line the wallets of those at the top.

    You can check registered status on the Revenue website - http://www.revenue.ie/en/business/authorised-charities.html.
    This will not give you salary levels however. Some local charities (due to 'hybrid' status) are listed on the Companies Registration Office - you can download company registration details, returns, accounts etc for a fee. As other posters have mentioned the whole area of charitable status is a mess in this country. There are no obligations for charities to make annual accounts available for public inspection (though some do), and there is very little oversight of their activities, nevermind CEO pay. You may recall the furore during the recent presidential election over Mary Davis' remumeration as CEO of Special Olympics Ireland. The Irish Examiner recently published a good article on charity bosses' salaries. Don't even get me started on the selfless Angela Kerins of Rehab Ireland...

    Unreal stuff there pennypocket. Nearly every CEO's salary that was revealed is 100k+, one at 156k! Would they do the job for the average industrial wage considering they are supposed to be charities?

    Money talks. :mad:

    i don't understand this...its hypocritical & insulting to the people whom the charity was set up for... i do volunteering part time but even if i was offered a paid position i couldnt live with my self knowing i am getting paid way more than i need to get by.
