2020 promises to be another strong year for the survey as nonprofit managers anticipate hiring challenges in the year ahead. Here's how your organization will benefit from the "the best survey of its kind:"

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

• How do the salaries paid at our organization compare with those paid at similar local organizations?
• Are more organizations planning to increase salaries during the next year?
• How common are bonuses or incentive pay for jobs like ours?
• Are organizations shifting benefits costs to employees?
• How do pay levels for male and female Executive Directors compare?

The 2019 report stated that 80% of the 2019 survey's participants expect increased competition from other employers to attract and retain qualified employees. It provides a wealth of information to help nonprofits compete effectively on this ever-changing playing field. 614 nonprofit organizations, reporting on over 33,000 jobs, participated in the 2019 survey, making it the largest and most robust in the survey's 41-year history.
