Each year the Minneapolis Star Tribune publishes its "Nonprofit 100" index, with statistics on the state's largest not-for-profit organizations. Medical outfits dominate the top of the list, with Blue Cross at No. 1 and the Mayo Clinic at No. 2. In fact, health care institutions occupy the top 16 spots. Educational institutions dominate much of the middle of the list, with the local private colleges and universities represented.
The only environmental nonprofit to scrape into the top 100 is Pheasants Forever, the St. Paul based group, whose mission is to protect and enhance pheasant populations and habitat. Pheasants Forever ranks 91st, with annual revenues of $33.8 million. Its CEO makes $219,200 a year, the Star Tribune reports.
In Minnesota, the cabinet-level Commissioner of the state's Department of Natural Resources makes $108,367, an amount set by state law. He oversees an executive department with a budget of more than $400 million a year.
Doing well by doing good.
