A position's salary is not the same thing as an individual's salary. If you're trying to cover 25% of the CFO's salary, you don't need to know what the CFO makes, you need to know what your organization (on average) pays for that position.
I write grants differently than most people so I'm not sure I'm the appropriate person to weigh in on this. But, this spring I developed a $100,000 state grant for a municipality and didn't know what any person in the project was making. We simply justified salaries by stating the value of the position.
In my current situation, I've raise nearly $500,000 in grants from state, federal, and private sources and I do not know what any individual in the entire organization is paid.
In my past lives as chief development officer or executive director, I would never divulge the salaries of current employees to my grantwriter. Honestly, as the CDO I didn't have that information.
Just two ways of looking at the same issue. Current salaries are personal information; salary levels are budgeted information. Actual expenses are very often different from budgeted expenses.
Just some thoughts,
Carl
