Matt Nippert at the Herald looks at the average salary for executives at various charities in NZ, and how many staff they have.
1. Te Whānau o Waipareira Group $510k, 178 staff
2. University of Auckland $428k, 6,246 staff
3. vuw, $369 staff, 6,301 staff
4. Waikato Raupatu Lands Trust, $368k, 172 staff
5. Massey University $353k, 3,351 staff
6. St John, $321k, 3,622 staff
7. ngai tahu, $312k, 779 staff
8. canterbury university, $302k, 2,620 staff
9. lincoln university, $287k, 614 staff
10. St Kentigern Trust, $284k, 415 staff
An average salary of $500,000 for senior leadership is astonishing for such a small organisation.

I didn't realise Universities were charities.
In that case I choose not to donate the portion of my taxes that currently go there.
No surprise 30% of them also have Maori connections.
Illustrates that despite all the glib rhetoric maori are apparently primarily in it for personal gainof the few. A likely foretaste of the probabe corruption when maori gain total control, toward which co governance is the path. (Clearly and conveniently demonstrated by the operation of the Tupuna Maunga Authority in Auckland)
As it's now Hoteo Hone replacing St John, they have lost my support.
What a waste of donated funds especially sign writing the ambulances into Waka .
Indefensible woke management.
why do charities need tax exemptions in the first place? if they are not-for-profit, they would pay 0 tax on profit anyway. is it a convoluted way to entice donors by promising them tax benefits? if so, why is the simplified 'GST' rule not applicable here (which has led to a very successful 'no exemption' approach)? surely people would support their favoured cause irrespective of whether it comes out of the pre-tax or post-tax income. if not, then it's really a shame!
re anonymous 11.19, seems to me st Johns needs to invest in new advisors. I presume much of their funding comes from estates and the older generation are the least likley to be seduced by all the maori claptrap. those wiht th elongest experience of maori usually are the least impressed.
Anon 11.09 you are not the only one.
