Overview
- Public tax filings made public this week show Carol Adelkoff received $907,923 in 2023 and $742,181 in 2024, a two-year total that exceeds $1.6 million.
- The organization reported that roughly $824,000 of the two-year total represented long‑accumulated vacation payouts and that a $495,000 payment in 2023 was labeled as a bonus.
- 1736 Family Crisis Center reports about $15 million in annual revenue with roughly 94% from government grants and its next-highest paid employee earned about $206,000.
- Adelkoff has long listed a Big Island, Hawaii home as her primary residence and declined to confirm her location to reporters while the nonprofit says she works about 70 hours a week and that base pay has returned to historical levels.
- Governance experts called the payout highly unusual, noting most nonprofits cap vacation accrual to avoid large lump sums, and the disclosures could prompt tighter board oversight and greater scrutiny of taxpayer-funded homelessness programs.
