*The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is not purely a cancer research facility. They do several other kinds of biological and medical research. **The head of the Kidney Cancer Society is not compensated. The salary listed is the salary of the organization’s secretary. #The head of City of Hope is not compensated from the charity funds, but does receive pay from an affiliated organization—I assume for running the medical side of things. That paycheck amounts to $1,110,580 and would place that individual second on this list.

The top person at the Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation is not compensated through the charity but receives $175,788 from affiliated sources. That would be twenty-third on the list above.

The person in charge at the Conquer Cancer Foundation receives no money from charity funds but does receive $77,000 from the affiliated group. That salary would place at #47.

##The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation did not report on salaries to Charity Navigator.
