Planned Parenthood CEOs among the highest-paid in nonprofit sector while abortion giant collected $1.9 billion in gov't grants, reimbursements: Report
A recently released report from a Planned Parenthood watchdog group revealed that the abortion chain's CEOs are among the highest-paid in the country's nonprofit sector.
Catholic pro-life organization American Life League's STOPP International is dedicated to exposing the "true nature of Planned Parenthood" by documenting "its anti-life, anti-family programs," according to its website.
On Wednesday, the watchdog published the "2023 Report on Planned Parenthood CEO Compensation," which examined executives' salaries within the organization and its affiliates.
The report, completed in March 2023, was based on the abortion provider's latest available financial data from the fiscal year ending in 2020 and some reporting from the fiscal years ending in 2019 and 2021.
"Planned Parenthood continues, year after year, to dramatically increase the salaries of its affiliate corporation CEOs and its New York headquarters staff while continually crying poverty and seeking and receiving more and more taxpayer money," the report stated.
STOPP International found that the average CEO compensation within the nonprofit organization was $317,564. According to Salary.com, the average salary for nonprofit executives in the United States is $184,809.
Planned Parenthood CEOs saw a 33.4% pay increase from 2015 to 2020, while the average American worker received a 15.6% increase over that same period, the report said.
American Life League's director of communication, Katie Brown, told Fox News Digital that in 2020, the nonprofit received $670.4 million in taxpayer dollars while it dished out $16.9 million to cover executives' salaries.
Despite Planned Parenthood being an outspoken advocate of equity initiatives, its top earner was a white female, and its second- and third-highest earners were white men, the report noted.
"Of the 53 Planned Parenthood CEOs at the affiliate level, only four were black. The lowest paid CEO was a black woman," it stated.
The report found that only seven of the organization's CEOs could be identified as people of color.
Brown said, "It's disingenuous that in Planned Parenthood's most recent annual report they claim to be committed to breaking down 'barriers of structural racism that block access to care,' when they so obviously haven't done so in their own organization."
"If there's one thing that this report makes clear, it is proof that at Planned Parenthood, the rich get richer while the poor get abortions," she added.
The STOPP International report also found that Planned Parenthood raked in $5.2 billion over the past three years, with $1.9 billion collected from government health services grants and reimbursements.
"Taxpayers have every reason to decry the billions of dollars of taxpayer money being funneled into the nation's largest abortion chain, and the number one reason is the slaughter by Planned Parenthood of 1,112,486 innocent babies during the same three-year period," the report stated.
American Life League called on Congress to "remove Planned Parenthood's 'charitable organization' status."
Planned Parenthood did not respond to a request for comment, Fox News Digital reported.
