Executives at the Fort Smith-based organization earned $10,899,762 in 2020.
Fort Smith-based Mercy Clinic Fort Smith Communities amassed $84,710,835 in the tax year ending in 2020, spending $127,984,206.
It is one of 440 not-for-profit organizations registered in Arkansas.
How not-for-profit executives and staff are paid is an issue consistently under the microscope.
“We urge donors to be wary of charities that pay salaries hovering near or above $1 million,” Ken Berger, president and CEO of Charity Navigator, said. “The purpose of a charity is to provide a public benefit. Every donor and tax payer subsidizes the charitable sector with that purpose in mind, not creating a class of millionaire CEOs.”
