Hi Steve! I hope that I can help to address some of your concerns. Compassion publishes all of their annual reports, Forms 990, and audited financial statements for public inspection on their website, here, and they encourage sponsors to review those. The Form 990 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 reported part year total compensation of $419,676 for the outgoing president and pert year total compensation of $216,132 for the incoming president. I think you might have those individuals reversed. Total compensation of officers and key employees for 2013 was reported at $2,688,864. In the most recent Form 990, for the FYE June 30, 2015, total compensation of officers and key employees was reported at $2,430,928, a decrease of roughly 10% from 2013.
Incidentally, I work in public accounting and when I was doing my first research about Compassion before becoming a sponsor I was surprised to see how conservative the compensation of officers and key employees is at Compassion for an organization of it's size and scale. Keep in mind that Compassion is one of the largest charities in the United States. They have to balance offering competitive salaries to attract and keep talented individuals with being good stewards of our contributions. They do a wonderful job of that, in my opinion. I have no doubt that each of those individuals listed as highly compensated could be making much more income in the private sector.

So, compare the CEO of the Union Gospel Mission in Sacramento, California, He earns $65,000.00 plus per year to the annual salary of the CEO of Compassion.
As the former national and state president of the Mexican American Correctional Association, a non-profit, I didn't take a single dollars for all the work with correctional peace officers, regular peace officers, and probation and parole officers. I foot the bill myself. And as I said before in our society people seem to be hungry for money all the time, yes, including Christians.
Take a look at the Internet site for non-profit corporations and see how much money goes to personnel and how much goes to the poor, hungry, third world people who really need the money to buy food, and not starve rather then the CEO who usually live in the best neighborhoods with all the amenities of the non-profit CEO's.
In conclusion, hopefully you are not an employee or minion of Compassion. Again look at the site on NON-PROFIT SALARIES AND WHAT THE CEO OF THE SALVATION ARMY GET'S AND THEY WERE AROUND LONG BEFORE COMPASSION.

“Jimmy” Mellado’s reportable compensation from the ministry as $296,044, which
is well below other ministries within this same field. You can find our 990 form through the link that Adam graciously provided or here. This is from the time period of Jun 1, 2014 through June 30,2015. We usually
compare our CEO's compensation to World Vision’s President, who has a reportable
compensation from that organization as $447,500, because they are an
organization of comparable size and mission.
Our
statement on stewardship says the following: “The ministry of Compassion
belongs to the children, our Implementing Church Partners, our sponsors and
donors, our Supporting Church Partners and ultimately to God. Therefore, we
protect, develop, and deploy all of our resources (people, time, money,
knowledge, reputation and materials) with great care and wisdom.”
In order to develop quality staff at Compassion while at
the same time managing our financial resources with great care and wisdom, we
seek to offer competitive salaries for the various positions necessary to
successfully execute Compassion’s mission statement. Also, please note that our leaders are faithful sponsors
and donors as well, and personally and financially support the ministry.
Thank you so much, Adam and William, for jumping in to help answer Steve's question quickly :). I sincerely appreciate the time you take to go above and beyond for fellow sponsors and the significant help you are to us!

LOL, this post is hilarious! So, Christians should be working for free just because they're Christians? People who work in ministry should be dirt poor? Girl, please. I totally get where you're coming from when it comes to the pastors of the mega-churches who run around in private planes just for preaching. But we're not talking about that. We're talking about people who RUN a major charitable organization. I'm going to hazard a guess and say that you've likely never been in the business world or perhaps even in the working world at all.
I don't care what religion someone is, salary should be commensurate with the work that is performed. I expect that as an attorney, and I think a CEO of a major charity should expect that as well.

Responding to Emily, who thinks my post is hilarious...
I find it sad that you find it laughable that any qualified person would be willing to do this difficult job out of love for the Lord and compassion the needly if they were not compensated with a very large salary. You seem clueless about what it means to follow Christ sacrificially. No wonder Jesus taught us that it's very hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.
But you're right about one thing,“girl.” I’ve have little experience in the business world. I was a missionary and missionaries generally think very different from rich attorneys about what is important in life.
By the way, if you think missionaries are losers who could not have become “successful” like you, I know many people who graduated from one of the best universities in America and then turned their backs on lucrative job opportunities to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.
Also, as an attorney, you should know better than to so mischaracterize what people said. Did I say that CEO’s of Christian organizations should work for free or be dirt poor? Hardly.
I said, “...the minister needs to be adequately provided for....” But I don’t think they should be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars more than they need when that money was given to help impoverished children and to bring them the gospel.- 80 Posts

I will not address your post any further as I don't believe it's appropriate to do so here. I am sorry that you are so very angry at Compassion and at all of the polite folks here, many of whom have tried to provide you with satisfactory answers to your concerns. Very sad for you.

Look, I have no doubt that your polite employees from the top down do considerable good to help the less-fortunate. And I'll even buy your claim they are all polite. But to try to justify whopping salaries by comparing the spending of dollars (often collected from people of modest means) to provide charity and compassion with the ungodly compensation that corporate CEO's and Wall Streeters rake in these days is just a non-starter with me. It makes it sound as though you've bought Gordon Gecko's famous argument that "greed is good." And your claim that leaders of some other, similar organizations are doing it, too, is about as feeble as when I tried to convince my mom "everybody else does it." She always reminded me THAT doesn't make it right, either.
Jane's point was merely that the standards in your field are different than Gordon Gecko's aim to grab as much money for himself as fast as he can grab it. And I agree with her that anybody motivated by a desire to get as rich as they can on your compensation package is probably not the kind of soul truly called for the right reason to do this kind of work in the first place!

Nor did I put any words in your mouth or say that you called anyone a loser. But you don't seem to realize that there are many many highly qualified people who serve the Lord out of love, even in very difficult and stressful positions and don't feel the need to be paid a high salary to do so.
You feel sad for me? Please don't. I feel sad for you.

Today, people choose careers. Medicine, law, physics, engineering, acting,etc. They are just careers. However, some people think because they have entered a field that get's a lot of television and drama that other person's need to kind of bow down a la royalty to their status, and that is just foolish, and in poor taste.
The proverbs tell me that it is better to be with the oppressed then to be with the oppressors. So, while we are on planet earth we will meet with all kinds of people. Some will like us and some won't. And if you are dealing with lawyers some will not give an inch on an argument or topic. And, of course, a Christian, non-lawyer or lawyer will always be kind, and respectful, for that is what Christ Jesus taught us or left for us in 1st Corintians 13 regarding LOVE, AND GOD IS LOVE.

No, I don't think that it is being judgmental to say that what companies in the private sector pay their employees should not be the standard for what ministries pay their ministers, or that it is a very worldly viewpoint to think so. Christian organizations that operate on the basis of donations are merely stewards of those donations. How how they use those sacrificial gifts is a very different matter from how companies use their profits.

I am disappointed by this response that totally discounts the importance of the concerns I’ve raised that affect the lives of many needy people.
You imply that I continue to disagree with Heather because I am closed-minded. Truth is, Heather offered NO justification as to why hundreds of thousands of dollars ABOVE what someone
would reasonably need to provide a comfortable life for his family
should be given to the CEO and other top brass FROM GIFTS that were
given, often from people of very humble means, to help the very
needy.
Heather said that a relatively small % of money donated goes to salaries. That's one way to look at it, but it doesn't justify paying people more than they need when it could be going to the truly needy -- for whom it was given. So here's another what to look at it:
Sponsoring a child for a year costs $456. If the CEO were paid 200K less/yr, he would still be earning a salary of WELL OVER 200K plus benefits (not a bit shabby for ANY family) that money would pay for the sponsorship of another $438 children. Should Compassion enrich one family MORE, or change the lives of $438 destitute families? Or if they paid him 300K less, they could change the lives of 657 families!
And that's just for the salary of ONE of Compassion's leaders.

My whole point is this, I don't want people not doing their research or misunderstanding what they are reading and think Compassion spends a ton of money on Executive salaries. The truth is the spend about 0.15% of contributions on these folks who keep the charity going and work hard to help more children.

As some of the Brothers and Sister's have stated there are plenty of qualified and experience person's who are willing to work for much less then two-hundred or three-hundred thousand dollars.
It's funny we,the regular working professionals, don't ever hear of openings in these high paying non-profit corporations. And maybe,just maybe, the term corporation should alert us to how corporation's operate, public or private.
In conclusion, Heather O raises a good issue regarding ten employee's. Why not hire ten more and use the money from the high paid employees to lessen the stress of running a large non-profit corporation. And if these CEO's stress out quickly have them resign, and fill the position with a person who can handle the non-profit stress for it's nothing compare to what we peace officers deal with out in the streets.

I studied at Harvard Business School with the 2nd year MBA's, and it just ruffles my feathers to read an old Non-profit argument defending one's high salary. There are hundreds of business men, and corporations who don't clear three to seven hundred thousand dollar salaries in the private sector.
And many of these Non-profit CEO's WOULD NOT BE HIRED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR, AND THAT'S WHY MANY END UP IN THE NON-PROFIT SECTOR.

So, where is all this stress, long hours, traveling, and, of course, staying at the best hotels. One can be at a village in Guatemala like Monterico in Jutapia, and be at the best hotel along the beach in twenty minutes. Oh, how stressful.

You are right and I agree, I work in business and in comparison their salaries are actually very low, if you want good people, people who can handle and world wide organization you have to pay them something.
My concern is with the parish where the child I was sponsoring left and no one at Compassion getting back to me.
May God Bless you and thank you for your well written response.

What I don't understand is if Compassion is taking care of about 2 million children and they bring in (Roughly) 800 million, wouldn't every child be a millionaire ?
I must be reading something wrong.
I went to a Compassion meeting at my church, I found out that the people who are involved in Compassion hear from the churches and know what's going on with their child in the child's community. I have never once heard from my child's church or who is over seeing her. Nothing. I was very upset to find out I've been giving extra month and gifts on birthdays and holidays only to find out that they made her spend it on school cloths and she does not get the gifts I send. The pastor of her church is taking the extra money or its being given to him and they spend the money how they see fit.
That upsets me, I've tried numerous times to get a hold of someone at Compassion only to be re-routed to the Philippines. I want to speak directly with the people in Colorado.
For some reason my child left the program and without my consent they just started taking the money out of my account again, I tried to straighten it out to no avail
I logged onto my account only to see a young man who has been trying to get sponsorship for over 441 days. wouldn't it make sense if you are going to assign a child (W/O the sponsor having a say) you would go with the child who has been waiting the longest.
I pray to God someone get's back in touch with me. I don't know what esle to do. I have this bad taste about this entire situation and I do not want to feel this way I'm really upset with the way this is being handled. I really feel like no one cares about me or what I am trying or tired to do with the child I had. I am really mad that they just went a head and after several months just started taking money out so that parish the child was part of didn't lose the money especially when another child has been waiting for over 441 days for help. That's awful. I have left my real name and info in hopes someone will get back to me. I'm so close to pulling out of this organization.
Thank you

When you send monetary gifts to your child, the money is delivered to the project. A project worker sits down with the child and helps them decide how they want to use the gifts. In America, we consider gifts to be something like toys, candy, etc because we so often aren't in desperate need of other necessary, basic items such as clothes, food, or household items. To these children, each monetary gift you send is an opportunity to buy something that they have been in need of or have wanted and have been unable to purchase themselves. The child is the one to make the decision on what to purchase and the projects do keep very detailed records on each gift that is sent by a sponsor. The details are so great that it will include the receipt for what is purchased, a photo, and a itemized list of everything purchased. Compassion does regular audits on each project we work with and is committed to financial integrity. You refer to the gifts you send. Are these monetary gifts you are talking about or physical gifts that you've tried sending in the mail?
I do see that you have spoken to the Filipino reps on many occasions, but it does look like you've now been given the US based rep phone number and have used it already as well. We are happy to transfer you to a USA based representative when able if you feel uncomfortable speaking with one of our representatives in the Philippines.
Rosita left the program in July after she had not been attending the program regularly for two months. As part of the program, she has a required number of times she has to attend the project. Without attending, she is not able to receive the benefits of your sponsorship or the program. When a child is absent, the staff visit the home to check on the child and find out why she wasn't attending. Their intention is to encourage the child to return to the project and understand what is happening to make the child absent. In Rosita's case, they were not successful in their endeavor to encourage her return and she decided to leave the program instead. It is always sad to see a child leave the program, especially when you have developed a relationship with that child. I completely understand that! After a child leaves the program, we do send you information on another child for you to consider sponsoring. We try to find a child who has similar characteristics if possible. When the packet of information arrives, there is a letter included that states we just need to hear from you within 5 weeks if you decide you do not want to sponsor the child. Otherwise, the sponsorship is made official and donations do begin to pull. We do this, not in order dishonestly take money from you, but to find sponsors for the children who are in need of them. It sounds as though you may not have received the letter or it wasn't clear enough. I do apologize for that. I know we removed the new child, Vani, from your account at the beginning of October when you emailed about the issue. It also looks like you decided to email back the next day and sponsor her after all. From your email, I can tell that you have a heart for these children! If in the future, you would rather make the decision to sponsor another child yourself without receiving a packet in the mail and one being chosen for you, I would be happy to make that update on your account.
Like I had just mentioned, we do try to find children who have similar characteristics to the child who left the program when we send information on a new child to consider. What you may not know is that you are Vani's first sponsor and she, too, has been waiting for a long time for a sponsor to invest in her life. She was registered in the program in July 2016 and had been waiting for a sponsor since then! We do actually try to assign children who have been waiting the longest in these cases, but we also have them available online because we find that a significant portion of sponsorships begin through our website.
I hope you know that Compassion cares about you personally as the sponsor and we want this to be a good experience for you. If you still have further concerns, please let me know so that I can address them for you!

All I asked was for someone to contact me directly instead I'm receiving email after email from all different people and its posted no less
I'm well aware of what is "Supposed" to happen
but what is "Supposed to happen vs. what IS happenings are two different things
Either way, I was caught off guard. My mail where is live is awful to say the least. (I have filed numerous complaints with the USPO) That being said, If I did not respond to your letter about sponsoring another child you don't' just all of a sudden go into my account and starting taking money out . I was really caught off guard.
I had no idea what was going on then I was told "The parish didn't want to lose the money"
I want to s/w with one person please
I wanted the opportunity to pick another child I didn't want to be assigned one now I feel bad (again) because Compassion took it upon themselves to tell a child or let them think she has sponsor only to be told " Oh sorry you don't have one" That's awful position to put a child in but that's exactly what Compassion did.
(There is a young 10th grader who has been waiting for 445 days for a sponsor, I can't believe if they were going to just do what they did why they haven't at least chose a child who has been waiting the longest and who is a littler older and might have chance at furthering his education if he had a sponsor)
I don't' like that I'm made to feel this way as if its my fault or I'm a horrible person
but that's exactly how I feel.
I don't understand why its so hard to contact someone in the home office this could have all been avoided
Instead I'm getting emails from all over the place telling how things work
I know what's supposed to happen.
I'm just really, really upset about this whole situation and still no call from the home office

May I just start by letting you know that what you do is truly the work of Jesus and by no means would we ever classify that as "small potatoes". Compassion is just one ministry that works towards helping to end poverty, but we know that we alone could never change life for all of these families in need. We need other organizations, other ministries, and other hearts who want to help, and we appreciate and have so much respect for each and every one of you. What you do is important.
Please know that although we may have the same end goal, our plan on how to get there may vary. I think it is truly wonderful that you and your husband are well off enough that you do not need to make a second income for your family, and in turn can volunteer your time. However, that is not always the reality in all homes here the United States. I can assure you that the vast majority of employees at Compassion make well below $100,000 and many of which make less than $60,000. However, there are many people who are in a place where they are able to donate their time and can volunteer with Compassion. We are very thankful for both.
I also feel that the programs we support are a bit different from each other, which makes it quite difficult to compare them. It sounds like from your explanation that you are able to help these families with schooling as a number one priority. However, at Compassion, we choose to set the stage a little differently. Compassion does not provide formal schooling for our children. Many children may attend local public schools. When needed, part of the $38 for sponsorship may go toward paying for the child’s school fees such as books or uniforms. However, the children do attend the Compassion child development center for a variety of activities. The Compassion development center may enhance what the child is learning in school and it focuses on the most important areas of growth while promoting life skills.
If the child is not in public school, that child is taught reading, writing and mathematics while at the student center. Children are also taught health and social skills to prepare them if and when the opportunity to attend school arises. The student center also gives them Christian training, providing a hope for the future that is only available through knowledge of God’s love for them.
Throughout the years, Compassion has consistently averaged more than 80 percent of total expenditures being used for program activities, with less than 20 percent being used for fundraising and administration. We commit that this will never, ever drop below 80%. This is one of the highest percentages for an organization like ours. Monthly sponsorship helps provide children with life-changing benefits that include: nutritious snacks or meals, educational opportunities, health and hygiene training, medical checkups, the caring embrace of a local church, and the message of God’s love through Jesus Christ.
Once again, I am so sorry if you got the feeling from Compassion that we think what other ministries do is not important, or that if you don't reach as many kids that what you do is somehow less worthy. This is not the case. We are thankful to know that other programs run things differently, as a different approach may help some children better than others. And we are truly thankful for all those who give their time and love to help others. May God bless you in all that you do, always!

I just looked over Compassion's financial 990 and see that 13 employees are paid from just over $200,000 a year (base plus "other" compensation) to almost $400,000 for the President. The average American makes $45,000/year! My heart is saddened as I always believed that Compassion was one of the few "above the board" ministries, but I see, sadly, that the pockets of the elite are being lined, just as many other leaders in other ministries are laying up for themselves treasures on earth. I'm suppose this post will be deleted by someone who wants to keep this quiet. Compassion was the primary beneficiary of my estate. That will change tomorrow, but I'm not sure to what ministry I'll leave my estate. I'll continue to sponsor my children, but will cease my support of Compassion when they age-out. Just. Very. Sad.

We start the service at 7:30 sharp and end at 8:30 sharp, and we feed, every day, one hundred and fifty to one hundred and ninety homeless men, woman, and sometimes children with their homeless parents. The Mission serves a four course meal, and community churches provide the desserts.
So, as the Scriptures tell us, in my words, When you meet a cold and starving person don't tell that person things will get better and go find food and shelter when one has the ability to assist that person. And that is where the Union Gospel Mission steps in and feeds the homeless, and hungry people of Sacramento EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, AND THAT IS ONE REASON WE HELP FUND THE MISSION. FOR EVERYONE THAT COME TO HEAR THE GOOD NEWS OF CHRIST JESUS, AND SALVATION THROUGH HIM,ALSO IS NOURISHED PHYSICALLY.
Pastor Tim Lane is the Dirctor of the Mission and his phone number is (916)447-3268.
In conclusion, thanks for following up on this very important issue.

I supported 3 children through Compassion for more years than I can recall, but no more after learning where so much of the money given to help children really goes.

The founder didn't take a large salary to do God's work. And if the Compassion organization needs to pay its CEO and officers those kind of salaries it seriously needs to consider the needs of the children who are being used to make the organization financially successful.
Learned enough at Harvard Business School to see the same arguments used, again, by hundreds, if not thousands, of non-profits organizations to defend their high salaries using the private sector as a standard of compensation.
I notice that the PRIVATE SECTOR NEVER USES THE NON-PROFIT SECTOR TO DEFEND THEIR ASTRONOMICAL SALARIES BECAUSE THAT'S THEIR GOD OR PURPOSE TO ENRICH THEMSELVES WHILE ON PLANET EARTH.
IN CONCLUSION, I'M SURE GLAD THAT WE WILL ALL BE JUDGED EITHER AT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE OR BY OUR LORD AND SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS. THERE THE LITTLE MONEY THAT THE CHILDREN GET WILL BE COMPARED TO THE SALARIES THE OFFICERS OF COMPASSION RECEIVED.
IF YOU ARE IN THE HUMAN CHRISTIAN SERVICES YOU NEED TO GIVE BACK AT LEASE FIFTY PERCENT OF YOUR SALARY TO THE CHILDREN. AND, BY THE WAY, MANY CEO'S IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR TAKE A SALARY OF ONE DOLLARS AS THEY ARE BILLIONAIRES OR MAYBE TRILLIONAIRES (THE ONE TENTH OF ONE PERCENT) .
THE FOUNDERS PURPOSE WAS TO FINANCIALLY HELP THE CHILDREN AND BRING THEM TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF A SAVIOR, CHRIST JESUS. THAT WAS HIS MISSION. AND I'LL BET YOU HE IS A MOST HAPPY BROTHER KNOWING THAT WHILE ON PLANET EARTH HE DIDN'T TAKE THE MONEY THAT WAS MEANT FOR THE ORPHANS IN KOREA, AND LATER IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. WHAT DO THE OFFICERS DO WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY?
EL CHUCK FROM CALIFORNIA; UGM PREACHER, AND TOOK NOT ONE PENNEY FOR HELPING STARVING ORPHANS IN YOUN DAK PO, REPUBLIC OF KOREA. CHRIST JESUS TOOK GOOD CARE OF MY FINANCIAL NEEDS, AND THEY WEREN'T TWO HUNDRED OR FOUR HUNDRED PLUS DOLLARS.
