Trees not profits: we're giving up our right to ever sell Ecosia (2018)

I would love to see it too. Also relations with for profit companies as well.

But how much a CEO of a company like this should make? It seems quite lot of work and one needs to make a living. But how much would be fair in your opinion?

I honestly have no idea

In the US, the CEO/executive director of a mid-size non-public company would probably expect a few hundred $K/year. Which isn't starvation wages, especially by European standards, but is something a lot of individual contributors in Silicon Valley would consider a relative pittance. And toss in no equity.

That is a good estimate.

You can see US non profit compensation online - https://datarepublican.com/nonprofit/assets/

Many of the presidents/vps make in that exact range (~$200 - $300k), although there are other like:

Feeding America, which pays their CEO a tad under $1m.
