This is probably not exactly “exploitation” in the Marxist sense of the term — not much surplus value is produced by all the frenetic activities of unpaid volunteers — but unpaid volunteers do look like they are exploited to pay for the salaries of non-profit staff at least.
But for the most part, those salaries aren’t large. What are large are the paychecks and perks at a place like the Ford Foundation. Six-figure salaries at the top, and grilled salmon for lunch. Nice.
