Executive Compensation at the March of Dimes (2019)
2019 was not a great year for the March of Dimes and yet, they continue to endure. Just six years ago, the March of Dimes had $75 million in net fund assets and was raising nearly $200 million annually but they were spending more than they raised. Since then, revenue has declined and the organization went into a negative net fund position because they were spending $8-$27 million more than they raised until 2016, had to fund a pension/post retirement fund for employees which for some reason was not funded (and is still not fully funded by $66 million), and had losses on investments. Things were not looking good by 2016 so the organization brought in a new president in 2017 following the retirement of the longtime president. Read more
