Nonprofit Planned Parenthood Pays Its California Executives Generously, But Turns Women Away Due to Budget Crunch

The salaries paid at nine California affiliates of Planned Parenthood suggest deep pockets if an abortion negligence or battery case ever gets to a California civil jury.

California’s Planned Parenthood affiliates pay executives top dollar, with generous benefit packages

(Editor’s note: This is the first in an ongoing series about the finances of the nine Planned Parenthood affiliates in California. Unless otherwise noted, the information comes from IRS Form 990, an annual report required by the IRS for tax-exempt non-profits. Check back each week for a new installment in the series.)

Planned Parenthood affiliates in California pay their top executives well and provide many of them with generous benefit packages, even though Planned Parenthood has pleaded with the state legislature in recent years that it was turning away as many as 10,000 patients a month for lack of sufficient funding.

Here is a list of the compensation paid to the five top Planned Parenthood executives at each California affiliate, from highest paid to lowest paid. Unless otherwise noted, the information comes from Form 990s for 2007 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.
