A pro-life group has released a new report on the salaries of Planned Parenthood abortion center directors. The shocking figures show they make an average of over $300,000 a year killing babies
The financial practices of Planned Parenthood, one of the nation’s largest abortion companies, have come under intense scrutiny in the 2025 STOPP report titled “2025 Report on Planned Parenthood CEO Compensation.”
This document, produced by American Life League’s STOPP International, examines the compensation of Planned Parenthood’s top executives, raising questions about the organization’s use of donor and taxpayer funds. It argues that exorbitant CEO salaries undermine its status as a nonprofit — particularly given its significant reliance on government funding.

The STOPP report highlights jaw-dropping salary figures for Planned Parenthood’s leadership, revealing a stark contrast to typical nonprofit standards.
It states, “The self-proclaimed monetarily stressed abortion provider paid its top officer nearly $1 million dollars and its Los Angeles CEO almost as much with an annual compensation of nearly $876,000.”
These amounts far exceed the average nonprofit CEO salary of $117,000 annually, positioning Planned Parenthood executives in the 98th percentile of U.S. wage earners. Such figures suggest that a substantial portion of the organization’s revenue is funneled to its upper echelons rather than its frontline services.
Planned Parenthood’s financial health is further illuminated by its revenue streams, heavily bolstered by public funds.
According to the report, “Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report cited $699.3 million in federal funding, a massive 34 percent of the organization’s total annual revenue.”
This taxpayer support, derived from grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements, fuels an operation that performed 392,715 abortions in the 2022-2023 period—equating to roughly 1,076 abortions daily.
The disparity between executive compensation and the organization’s operational needs is a central theme in the STOPP analysis.
The document notes, “The average annual salary of a Planned Parenthood CEO is more than triple that of other nonprofit executives… while Planned Parenthood CEOs earn an average of $352,661.”
This gap is particularly striking when considering the financial struggles of smaller legitimate healthcare providers that lack similar federal backing. The report implies that funds directed to lavish salaries could instead support expanded patient care or community outreach instead of killing babies.
Transparency—or the lack thereof—emerges as another critical issue in the report.
It asserts, “Many of these organizations do not readily disclose executive salaries in their public materials, requiring donors to dig through IRS Form 990 filings to uncover the truth.”
This opacity fuels distrust among supporters who may assume their contributions directly aid women’s healthcare rather than bolster executive lifestyles for CEOs overseeing abortions. The STOPP findings suggest that Planned Parenthood’s reluctance to openly share compensation details undermines its accountability to both donors and taxpayers.
The report also spotlights regional variations in CEO pay, with some affiliates outpacing others in executive largesse.
For instance, “Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles CEO earns nearly $876,000,” a figure that dwarfs the compensation at smaller affiliates, despite the organization’s unified pro-abortion mission.
Critics cited in the STOPP document argue that such financial practices jeopardize Planned Parenthood’s credibility as a nonprofit dedicated to public good.
The report warns, “Planned Parenthood’s exorbitant CEO and affiliate earnings continue to grow each year, while they simultaneously say they are experiencing financial decline,” quoting lead researcher Katherine Van Dyke. This disconnect between public messaging and fiscal reality could alienate the organization’s base, particularly as it navigates political and legal challenges to its funding and operations.
It concludes, “The data collected in our CEO report is vital, as it shows that taxpayer money is truly the fuel for Planned Parenthood’s earnings.” By exposing these compensation trends, the report seeks to spark a broader conversation about stewardship and integrity within one of America’s most polarizing nonprofits, challenging it to prove that its commitment to healthcare outweighs its apparent pursuit of executive enrichment.”
