The challenge for nonprofits to recruit, hire, and retain skilled employees seems evergreen. With today’s uncertain economy, a rapidly changing funding environment, and stretched budgets, ensuring your organization can remain competitive for talent feels even more overwhelming.
Conducted and released every two years, the Minnesota Nonprofit Salary & Benefits Survey is a trusted resource provides salary data for nearly 80 nonprofit positions, along with insights on executive compensation, benefits, leave policies, flexible schedules, and more, helping nonprofit leaders across the state benchmark pay and benefits, ensure equity, and make informed decisions about their most valuable asset — their people.
New this year, the report has transitioned from a static print book format1 to a one-stop, interactive digital dashboard, providing powerful insights and data in one convenient digital home. Through this tool, you can review and analyze the data for common nonprofit job titles in a more detailed way, including key management positions such as executive director, associate director, development director, program director, and finance director. See the full list of positions.
Users can filter, compare, analyze, and download/print valuable compensation and benefits date with just a few clicks, with data searchable by activity area, budget size, and region of the state specific to your organization. Additionally, users will have quick reference access to robust information on common (and not so common) benefits offerings, including health, dental and cafeteria plans offered, retirement, disability and life insurance, paid time off including vacation, sick leave and holidays, and much more.
