Here's where things get more interesting. I looked up the Form 990 statements of ASACP (Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection) for 2009, 2010, and 2011. You can read them at:

In 2009, ASACP's total revenues were $457,912 and Joan Irvine was paid $77,605 in "reportable compensation" and $21,956 of "other compensation from the organization and related organizations" for a total of $99,561. As CEO, she reported 60 hours of work per week. In that year, the president, treasurer, and 2 directors all were paid $0.
Only $13,470 was spent on travel, and $14,541 for conferences.
In 2010, ASACP's total revenues were $392,901 and Joan Irvine was paid $91,250 total for 60 hours per week as CEO. Once again, the President, VP, Officer, Sec/Treasurer were all paid $0. $12,514 was paid for travel, and $20,387 for conferences.
In 2011, ASACP's total revenues were $381,113, and Joan Irvine was paid $35,417, presumably for the 4 months January through April (before she jumped to IFFOR) for 60 hours/week. Annualized, that would be $106,251. Once again, the CEO, VP, Officer and SEC/Treasurer all worked for free, and were paid $0. There was travel of $21,344 and conferences/tradeshows amounted to $44,791.
Obvious questions:
(1) Why is Joan Irvine suddenly worth $195,000/yr (annualized) at IFFOR, compared to earnings of roughly $100K/yr ($91,250 low in 2010, $99,561 in 2009, and $106,251 (annualized) for the first 4 months of 2011) at ASACP?? Indeed, the IFFOR form 990 says her average amount of work dropped to 40 hours/week, compared to the 60 hours/week at ASACP. So, roughly double the compensation, and 33% less hours worked.
(2) How is it ASACP can find directors/officers willing to work for free, but IFFOR pays them substantial amounts?
Remember, these are all non-profits, and if you compared the level of revenues, they seem comparable (i.e. if you include the "deferred" revenues from IFFOR's statement; if you don't include those, then IFFOR is even smaller).
