Executive Compensation at the Conservative Partnership Institute (2022)

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.

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).

The United Jewish Appeal Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of NY, Inc is also known as the UJA Federation of NY.

Based in New York City, the UJA Federation of NY has historically been focused on raising funds and using those funds to make grants (61% of revenue in 2019, 68% of revenue in 2020, 54% of revenue in 2021, and 60% in 2022) – primarily to domestic Jewish organizations including $50 million to the Jewish Federations of North America in 2022 – and strengthen their balance sheet by allotting millions annually to the general fund (they reported having $1.4 billion in net assets by the end of 2022).

In 2022, the UJA Federation of NY used 60% of revenue ($177 million) for grants, 28% of revenue ($82 million) to pay for organization expenses, and allocated 12% of revenue ($35 million) to the general fund. Read more »

Executive Compensation at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (2022)

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) 3 founded by a rabbi in 1983 as a way to “bless Israel and the Jewish people around the world with humanitarian care and life-saving aid” while “building bridges between Christians and Jews.”

There are 7 independent voting members (directors) of the governing body, although 8 are listed on the most recent Form 990 (2022) with 1 director, Keith Frankel related, which appears to be due to timing differences. 7 of the 8 directors listed are male while 1 is female (note:  the Form 990 does not report gender; determinations were made based on name and google searches).

Where Does $100 to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews Go (2022)?

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) 3 founded by a rabbi in 1983 as a way to “bless Israel and the Jewish people around the world with humanitarian care and life-saving aid” while “building bridges between Christians and Jews.”

How is revenue spent at IFCJ?  The short answer is that less than 60% is spent on grants to Jewish organizations – in the US and in Israel – while about about 40% is spent on fundraising, printing and postage, television and radio airtime, staff compensation, fees for services, office-related expenses, and travel,, with the remaining put into savings.  For more detail, read on.

Executive Compensation at the National Basketball Players Association (2022)

The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) 5 – a trade union representing the 450 basketball players (30 teams with 15 players) in the NBA. So, this association serves a very small populatlon.

In 2022, the NBPA reported total revenue of $38 million (compared to $34 million in 2021 and $26 million in 2020), most of which came from royalties ($23 million), sponsorship ($6 million), membership dues ($3 million), and agent revenue ($2 million). It is unclear how much each NBA player pays in membership due because the NBPA also has dues for agents which ranges from $2,500 – $7,500 annually, depending on how many players the agent represents.   Read more »

Executive Compensation at the National Basketball Players Association (2021)

The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) 5 – a trade union representing the 450 basketball players (30 teams with 15 players) in the NBA. So, this association serves a very small populatlon.

In 2021, the NBPA reported total revenue of $34 million (compared to $26 million in 2020, $68 million in 2019 and $45 million in 2018), most of which came from royalties ($21 million), membership dues $4 million), and investment income/gains ($3 million). It is unclear how much each NBA player pays in membership due because the NBPA also has dues for agents which ranges from $2,500 – $7,500 annually, depending on how many players the agent represents.  The decline in revenue in 2020-2021 appears to be due to the covid pandemic.
