The organization’s total expenses nearly tripled in 2011 to $35.6 million, compared with $12 million the previous year, according to the nonprofit foundation’s 2011 tax records. At the same time, revenue was falling: Donations and grants dropped 10% in 2011, to $78.3 million, from $87.4 million in 2010.

The organization employed 253 people in 2011, compared with 107 in 2010. Three of the organization’s executives received annual compensation packages of more than $300,000, including the president, Joseph Daniels, who earned $366,224 in salary and other benefits.
