Planned Parenthood CEO Compensation Surges Amid Reported Financial Struggles

Recent reports from the American Life League highlight substantial salaries for Planned Parenthood executives, revealing that CEO Alexis McGill Johnson earned $904,014 in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, a 32% increase from the previous year. The report indicates that Planned Parenthood's affiliate CEOs are compensated significantly higher than most nonprofit leaders, with average salaries rising from $317,564 to $352,661 between 2020 and 2023. Critics, including Katie Brown of the American Life League, argue that this pattern of high compensation continues despite the organization facing financial struggles and receiving nearly $700 million in taxpayer funding annually. The findings suggest a troubling disconnect between the claimed financial woes of Planned Parenthood and the rising salaries of its top executives. The data further reveals that the average Planned Parenthood CEO makes more than triple the average salary of nonprofit CEOs in the U.S., which is approximately $117,000. This situation has prompted calls for scrutiny of how taxpayer funds are allocated to the organization and its affiliates.
