Carter Roberts and Fred Krupp, the leaders of WWF and EDF respectively, both earned more than $1 million in total compensation, according to the latest publicly available tax records, ranking them among the best-paid leaders in the environmental arena.
Many other leaders of major environmental and conservation groups take home annual compensation packages in the high six figures, according to an analysis by POLITICO’s E&E News of 28 groups’ most recent tax filings.
Nonprofits are required to release their tax documents publicly, although their disclosure often lags by several years. The nonprofits’ most recent publicly available documents detail senior employees’ pay for calendar years 2022 or 2023.
