Executive Compensation at the American Heart Association (2023)
The American Heart Association (AHA) is one of the most popular and recognized non-profits in the United States with enormous public support that raises about $900 million annually and has more than $1.2 billion in net assets.
By most accounts, this organization is a magnet for public contributions and an expert at raising and saving money. But, are they accomplishing their mission, which is to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular disease and stroke (especially with hundreds of recipes on their website calling for eggs, dairy products, beef, poultry, pork – including bacon, a Type 1 carcinogen according to the World Health Organization, oil, sugar and white flour)? With heart disease the number one cause of death in the United States for decades, one has to wonder if all the contributions to the AHA are really helping to prevent and reverse heart disease?

Where Does $100 to the American Heart Association (AHA) Go (2023)?
The American Heart Association (AHA) is one of the most popular and recognized non-profits in the United States with enormous public support (although previous years (2018-2020) were not great years for the organization with total revenue down 12% in 2019 to $746 million (compared to $852 million in 2018) and down 6% to $700 million in 2019-2020).
But, AHA rebounded in recent years when total revenue increased to $804 million in 2021 to $856 million in 2022 to $926 million in 2023. Expenses have generally been significantly less allowing the organization to allocate unspent revenue (more than $100 million in many years) to the general fund – by year-end 2023, AHA had more than $1.2 billion in their net fund balance.

Executive Compensation at the Conservative Partnership Institute (2023)
The Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) is a tax-exempt, no-profit organization based in Washington, DC that provides assistance in the form of staffing, education, training, incubation, and coalition building for congressional offices and conservative groups.
Formed in 2017, CPI has 7 voting members on its governing board, 4 of whom are independent. With 30 employees, CPI is a right wing lobbying group that emerged from being virtually unheard of in 2017 to a major “host” of events for Republican members of Congress by 2021 (From 2017-2020, CPI was a very small non-profit that raised $2-$6 million annually. In 2021-2022, revenue jumped to $46 million and $36 million, respectively primarily because of an increase in contributions. But expenses did not increase in accordance with revenue as CPI also appears to be focused on saving – at year-end 2022, CPI had $43 million in net assets meaning they did not spend all the revenue they received).
