OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Top executives at Goodwill Omaha receive higher salaries than peers at area nonprofits and at other Goodwills nationwide. The Omaha World-Herald reports Goodwill Omaha CEO Frank McGree received total compensation of $933,444 in 2014. More than half of that was a $519,000 one-time retention bonus, but even without that McGree’s pay was higher than many nonprofit executives.

Thirteen of the nonprofit’s executives were paid more than $100,000 salaries in 2014, so a significant portion of the $4 million generated from Goodwill’s stores in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa went to administrative costs instead of Goodwill’s job training programs.

McGree’s compensation sits in the top tier among 150 independent Goodwill affiliates nationwide. Only two dozen Goodwill leaders make over $400,000 a year and two receive pay over $1 million.
