While I agree with you that the same management skills are needed to run a successful non-profit as to run a successful company, I'd like to remind you that not everyone is motivated by money (i.e., a big salary). Some people believe in what they are doing, which is more important to them than a bigger salary. It doesn't make them a loser who couldn't make it elsewhere.

Charitable organizations need to keep a lid on their Administrative costs. I like to donate to local organizations. Even better, I like to do random acts of kindness. It may not mean much in the overall scheme of things, but it makes a difference to that person and hopefully they pay it forward.
