The organization claimed $360 million in expenses for that year. Only $75.4 million of that went to research and $283.2 million went towards program services. Then $140.8 million went to public health education and $46.9 million went to health screening services. The final 5.6% went to treatment services. The other 76.8 million of the $400 million went to two places:fund raising costs and general and administrative costs.
That year, the organizations CEO, Nancy Brinker, made $417,712 and currently she makes $684,000 per year. Compared to the overall gain of the cancer organization it isn't that much, but it is quite a chunk of change for an organization that is supposed to not be profiting from it.
Brinker makes over a quarter million dollars more than even bigger organizations like Red Cross. In perspective, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure is about one tenth the size of the Red Cross.
