How Much Money Does The Ceo Of St Jude's Make

When some people think of St. Jude's, they associate the organization with the children's research hospital but St Jude's is actually two organizations: the children's hospital (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital) which provides research and medical care, and the fundraising organization (ALSAC which stands for American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities). Although most non-profits do not separate fundraising from services, St. Jude's does so both organizations need to be analyzed when looking at "St. Jude's."

ALSAC

ALSAC raised $1.5 billion (for the year ending June 30, 2017), most of which came from contributions ($1.3 billion) and investment income/gain on the sale of assets, gaming activities and fundraising events ($200 million or $0.2 billion).

Total expenses for ALSAC were $1.076 billion, of which $664 million (44% or $44 out of every $100 in revenue) was given to the hospital (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital) for operational and capital budget needs. ALSAC retained $428 million (29% or $29 out one every $100 in revenue) and spent $412 million (27% or $27 out of every $100) on functional expenses related to fundraising (the mission of ALSAC).

So, the bottom line is: If you donated $100, $44 was given to the hospital, $29 was spent on organizational expenses at ALSAC and $27 was put into savings (which had more than $4 billion at year-end).

Functional expenses include compensation for the 1,639 employees of ALSAC whose purpose is to raise funds for the hospital. The 1,639 employees were compensated $137 million which equates to an average compensation of $84,000 each. However, 255 employees of ALSAC received more than $100,000 in compensation. The nine (9) most highly compensated individuals were reported to be:

$1,087,044: James Downing, Ex-Officio Director (comp from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital)
$ 868,643: Richard C Shadyac, Jr.: CEO and Ex-Officio Director

$ 471,938: Anurag Pandit, Chief Investment Officer

As illustrated above, 9 employees received total compensation of $5.5 million. Of the 9 most highly compensated employees, 6 (67%) are male, while 3 (33%) are female.

The 990 also reports ALSAC paid for companion travel and health or social club dues or initiation fees (See Schedule J, Part III for more information).
