2024 Minnesota Nonprofit Salary & Benefits Survey – Print

The 2024 Minnesota Nonprofit Salary and Benefits Survey (also available in an unlimited web access format) gives you reliable research to help you comply with IRS regulations and maintain fair and competitive compensation practices.

The print publication, published every two years since 1999, gives a page-by-page review of the top 79 jobs in nonprofit organizations. The survey report presents the results by 6 budget categories, 7 geographic regions, and 12 activity areas so you can compare your organization’s compensation to similar organizations. Easy-to-use charts and tables report the data using averages, medians, and quartiles – providing affordable, reliable information for salary and benefits decision-making.

Executive director salaries are broken down by a cross tabulation of activity area and budget size, with additional information about the level of education, experience and years in the position for the individual.

The report details current salary ranges, increases and raises, health, dental and cafeteria plans offered, retirement, disability and life insurance, paid time off including vacation, sick leave and holidays, and more. New to the 2024 edition is expanded workforce trend information, including key respondent feedback on recruitment and retention challenges, information on salary transparency, and more.
