Jerold T. Wright received the second highest annual salary among Pennsylvania not-for-profit executives, according to Non-Profit Light.

Jerold T. Wright earned $6,150,206 from Villanova University by working 35 hours a week in 2020.

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.”
