The delicate and often overlooked subject of compensation for nonprofit fundraisers! With hosts Julia Patrick and Tony Beall. The Fundraiser’s Friday duo highlight the wide spectrum of pay scales in the sector, ranging from entry-level salaries of $40,000 to executive roles reaching $180,000, with Tony emphasizing the importance of transparency. He says, "We’re seeing more organizations list salary ranges in job postings, and that transparency saves everyone time." This transparency, he suggests, could aid nonprofits in attracting talent and cultivating a healthy work environment, especially as the labor market tightens.


The enlightening chat also digs into the benefits nonprofit organizations can offer to attract and retain talent, such as flexible work arrangements and reduced dress code expenses for remote employees. Julia reflects, “We have these nickel-and-dime expenses, like dry cleaning and transportation, that working from home can alleviate.” And Tony speaks about the sector's shift towards professionalism and equity: “If you want the best talent, you need to offer packages that meet people where they are in life.”
