This landmark project surveyed nonprofits of all sizes between February 26 and April 2, 2018. A total of 236 responses were included from Charlottesville and Richmond regions. We asked nonprofits about compensation for leadership staff; compensation for the lowest paid, full-time staff; and employee benefits. We also asked about staff demographics, such as gender and race, to better understand diversity and to gain insight into any disparities in compensation.
The Report provides a guide for board members and hiring managers looking to fairly compensate employees or entice new talent. It also provides some broader insights into the nonprofit landscape in our region, including that salaries in the region, in many cases, are below the national average. The data also suggests that compensation disparities exist, particularly for women and people of color.
We’ve made an infographic summarizing the top takeaways from the report and an accompanying discussion guide available below. The full report is also available here.
