    Salary amounts are confidential. Unless the recipient voluntarily offers the information. The company nor any of the employees can tell you what someone else's salary is.

    I'm not sure I understand the question. As Shirley notes salary is confidential.

    My first full time job was with a company that had a highly structured training program. Basically, if you were at a certain point in the program, you were making a set salary. So everyone knew what everyone else was making (up to a certain point). I then went to a new company and we where in the position where most of us had to be out of town while we prepared to move the company's operations. So we often had dinner together and at one dinner I mentioned my salary thinking everyone already knew what my position was making. Well I learned very quickly, that you don't discuss salary with anyone.

    The OP is asking how to find out the annual income of people who happen to have donated money to her non profit. The answer is that she has no access to that information without asking them to tell her or provide tax returns (which I doubt they will give her). Ordinary people's incomes are not posted at some website. It's confidential, as Wildsporty says.

    However, the compensation for executives at publicly traded companies seems to be public. If those are her donors, she can probably find out.

    That's certainly a possible interpretation of the question. Lets see if the OP returns to provide more info.

    I agree this is a possibility.

    Scott, I see you are #15 in the top 20 today. I made #17 in employment law.
