"According to its 2017 IRS records, the group grossed $45,910,121, and shelled out a whopping $20,686,120 in salaries and benefits for HIAS employees..... Mark Hetfield is pulling down a salary package worth $336,323 running this charity, Rita Silverman, in charge of grass roots organizing, earns $299,335 in pay and benefits, and Farhan Irshad, the Chief Operating Officer, collects $198,450 in wages plus $51,842 in benefits"Sounds like quite the altruistic bunch at the top of HIAS.
Note: Remind me to look up whether the Catholic and Protestant immigration groups are any different.
"Investigative reporter Jim Simpson (see page 24) notes that HIAS has received $186 million from the U.S. Treasury in the last ten years."18.6 million USD a year in taxpayer contributions.
"In 2017, Uncle Sam donated $24,493,763 in taxpayer dollars to the organization. Curiously, last year the contributions from the public added up to $17,361,702 — underwriting just 80 percent of the group’s payroll — making the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society employees government welfare recipients."
