Coalition Against Domestic Violence
Tiffany Carr was the CEO of the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Ironically she "worked remotely" from North Carolina. Over the last three years she was paid about $7.5 million dollars in compensation to oversee an agency that receives about $52 million dollars in state and federal dollars annually.
The Miami Herald started investigating and wrote a story about a salary of $761,000.
"Tiffany Carr runs the state’s top domestic violence organization, a nonprofit that uses public money state and federal to finance shelters and other essential services. And she makes a good living.
How good? In a June 30, 2017 report, the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence disclosed she is paid $761,560 annually, a salary that is approved by its board. She hit that mark after receiving pay raises totaling $313,475 over a two-year period."
“That’s — it’s ridiculous,” said Dan Ravicher, a professor at University of Miami School of Law who focuses on nonprofits, business and social entrepreneurship. “We’re talking almost 2 percent of the budget being paid to one person. That’s pretty unusual.”
The majority of the programs that the Florida coalition funds (most of which serve at least one county, if not more) have smaller budgets for the services they provide than Carr took home in salary in 2016.
Just because the agency is a non-profit organization doesn't mean it is well run, doesn't need oversight, and shouldn't be required to follow regulations. The Board and its CEO might have started out being well meaning but in this case something went really wrong because the Board Members and the State of Florida looked the other way until they ran out of excuses and the chiggers were coming out of the woodpile.
In Florida we are all victims of the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence and most affected are battered wives and girl friends who these folks were supposed to help.
