Genbusiness005

Kenneth L. Bishop received the eighth highest annual salary among Tennessee not-for-profit executives, according to Non-Profit Light.

Kenneth L. Bishop earned $1,496,935 from National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, Inc. by working 58 hours a week in 2020.

Nashville-based National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, Inc. amassed $29,438,764 in revenue in the tax year ending in 2020, spending $28,967,319.

There are 1,517 not-for-profit organizations registered in Tennessee.

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.”
