And a Revised Economic Environment Section
Low unemployment, increased inflation and softening demand in some sectors of the economy are creating uncertain conditions for nonprofit managers as they make decisions about employee compensation and benefits policies. Here’s how your organization will benefit from the “the best survey of its kind:”

  • Current, local compensation data on more than 200 jobs found in nonprofit organizations throughout Northern California
  • Base pay levels and bonus/incentive pay for each job with details by annual operating budget, location within Northern California, number of employees and primary field of service
  • Employee benefits in detail: paid time off, insurance, retirement
  • Salary increases over past year and expected during the next year
  • Policies with respect to on-call work, overtime, shift differentials, pay for bilingual skills, introductory periods, performance reviews, DEI practices and more

The survey will also help your organization find out how the local nonprofit community is coping with current economic conditions. Here are some questions the survey can help nonprofit managers answer:

  • For what kinds of jobs are nonprofits having difficulty hiring and retaining employees?
  • Are nonprofit employees working remotely, in person, or a combination of both?
  • Are organizations planning to increase or decrease their workforces in 2023?

The survey provides a wealth of information to help nonprofits compete effectively on this ever-changing playing field. This past year, 728 nonprofit organizations reporting on more than 36,000 jobs participated in the 2022 survey, making it the largest and most robust in the survey’s 44-year history.  For more information, visit www.nonprofitcomp.com or email at survey@nonprofitcomp.com.
