A constellation of nonprofit organizations collectively receiving billions of dollars from government agencies such as U.S. Agency for International Development shower their executives with lucrative compensation, luxury travel, generous contracts for family members, and top-tier office spaces, a Washington Examiner review of public records found.
The government has tasked prominent nongovernmental organizations such as ACDI/VOCA, Adventist Development and Relief Agency International, and the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences with disbursing billions of dollars in taxpayer funds, primarily through foreign aid programs related to food security and public health. These taxpayer-funded private nonprofit organizations often opt to pay their executives high six-figure and occasionally even seven-figure salaries while also providing them with swanky benefits, tax records show.
