Taxpayer Philanthropy: Minneapolis 'violence interrupter' founder's pay tripled
The founder of a government-funded nonprofit that patrols crime-ridden areas of Minneapolis had his salary nearly triple to $246,000. Muhammad Abdul-Ahad, founder of a government-funded nonprofit that patrols crime-ridden areas of Minneapolis, T.O.U.C.H. Outreach, had his salary nearly tripled to $246,000 in 2024, according to The Center Square. This salary came in a year when Minneapolis leaders approved a significant increase in annual funding to his nonprofit, totalling $1.5 million, according city records. A recent city audit found significant weaknesses in the Neighborhood Safety Department, which oversees the contracts, including deficiencies in invoice reviews and the verification of contracted work. Abdul-ahad defended his salary, arguing he should be making more money than the city's highest-paid executive, Toddrick Barnette, who was paid about $365,000 last year. The city agreed to modify its procedures and require the "violence interrupter" groups to report more specifically how they are spending taxpayer money.
