Tip for folks who get the "work for free for us because we're a non-profit" line. To sort through it, look up their IRS "990" which lists executive salaries. I've had NGOs that pay their executives high six & seven(!) figures tell me they don't pay because they're a "non-profit."

I’ve had that exact scenario NGO ask me to work for free because they are “nonprofit”. There are genuinely cash-strapped organizations doing great work and deserve support but usually if they ask, they’re apologetic and explain their situation. No “nonprofit, won’t pay” rudeness.https://twitter.com/cschneider8224/status/1363950698241552384 …

I’m just putting this out there because I’ve been hearing people feel guilty turning such stuff down! No, no, no. You do not need to feel guilty! Your time and expertise is valuable. Donate it, if you’re in a position to do so, to worthy causes—not to salaries of already wealthy.

Tip of the iceberg. I worked for an NGO (IRC) whose CEO is paid $1M/year. VPs make $300-400k. Many NGOs are nepotism factories. They lack transparent pipelines b/c they're dominated by networked elites who routinely give internships as rewards to each other's children.
