Its best-paid, executive director Danny Morrison, was paid $327,000. The largest payments it lists that year:

ACCteam participation$883,000
Big Tenteam participation$700,000

From the organization’s IRS Form 990, via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and the IRS’s e-file data. Payments are the grants it lists on Schedule I of that return. See every filing at ProPublica (EIN 46-2059715).
