Webp genbusiness005

Catherine A. Jacobson received the second highest annual salary among Wisconsin not-for-profit executives, according to Non-Profit Light.

Catherine A. Jacobson earned $2,651,194 from Froedtert Health, Inc. by working 45 hours a week in 2020.

Milwaukee-based Froedtert Health, Inc. amassed $675,461,810 in revenue in the tax year ending in 2020, spending $620,086,121.

There are 1,307 not-for-profit organizations registered in Wisconsin.

How not-for-profit executives and staff are paid is an issue consistently under the microscope.

“We urge donors to be wary of charities that pay salaries hovering near or above $1 million,” Ken Berger, president and CEO of Charity Navigator, said. “The purpose of a charity is to provide a public benefit. Every donor and tax payer subsidizes the charitable sector with that purpose in mind, not creating a class of millionaire CEOs.”
