# LA nonprofit paid CEO over $1.6 million in two years 2026-08-08T07:42:05+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A Los Angeles-based nonprofit that runs domestic violence shelters and homelessness programmes paid its CEO Carol Adelkoff more than $1.6 million in 2023 and 2024, according to tax filings and a report by the Los Angeles Times. The 1736 Family Crisis Center paid Adelkoff $907,923 in 2023 and $742,181 in 2024. The nonprofit says most of the sum came from unused vacation time accumulated over her four-decade career, with about $824,000 attributed to leave payout. Adelkoff's regular salary was roughly $405,000 annually, and the 2023 figure included a $495,000 bonus. Nonprofit experts question the arrangement because Adelkoff's primary residence is in Hawaii while she leads the LA-based organisation. The median compensation for executives at 16 comparable LA-area nonprofits was about $159,737. The next-highest paid executive among them made $423,932 in 2024. The organisation's attorney said the board consulted legal and financial advisers before approving the payout. Adelkoff says her total compensation has since returned to historical levels and she has no further accrued vacation time. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
