New report on Planned Parenthood’s CEO salaries might shock you

Planned Parenthood executives are among the highest-paid in the non-profit sector, according to a new report.

American Life League’s (ALL) STOPP International recently released a report examining how the abortion giant’s CEOs are compensated. They found that not only are the corporations CEOs paid more now than in years past, but they receive far more than other non-profit CEOs do. In 2015, the average Planned Parenthood CEO’s salary was $237,999 whereas in 2020, that number had risen to $317,564 — a 34% increase.

The lowest-paid Planned Parenthood CEO, a Black woman, received $124,045 – just one of four Black CEOs within the organization. STOPP International found that this CEO oversaw an affiliate that earned more income than others did (36th out of 53 listed affiliates), yet her salary was the lowest — a noteworthy discovery considering Planned Parenthood’s near-constant allegations of institutional racism in recent years.

A notable exception is, of course, Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Her salary in 2020 was $683,697.

Additionally, Planned Parenthood seemed to favor its male CEOs; just nine CEOs out of the 53 were men, yet three of those nine were in the top 10 highest paid executives, with two of them rounding out the second and third highest-paid spots. Those men – Ken Lambrecht and John Dunn – operate affiliates in Texas and California, and have a combined salary of over $1.15 million.

Planned Parenthood CEOs are also receiving nearly double what the average non-profit CEO does; according to Salary.com, the average non-profit CEO makes $184,809 per year. Planned Parenthood’s $317,564 average CEO salary is substantially higher.

Another thing the report noted is that, though the CEOs are raking in hefty salaries, their patients are overwhelmingly low-income, with 70% of their clientele having a household income less than $40,000.

Katie Brown, the communication director for ALL, told Fox News Digital that the report shows the disturbing reality behind Planned Parenthood’s business model.

“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,” she said, adding, “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.”
