500k to the CEO of an organization bringing in $25m/yr in revenue isn't that crazy.
In hindsight, it doesn't look like they did a great job running it, but the comp package doesn't seem crazy at that scale.

I dont really know what is normal for these types of things.
Often in nonprofits, the person in charge is mostly an exceptional fundraiser and so their contributions are easily visible in that realm. The corollary to that is they are often a bad manager of the org.
Well in this case, going off of their public message, we can safely assume: (1) not a very good fundraiser (2) not a very good organizer
