Nonprofit Compensation Associates February 2017 Dear Nonprofit Leader: We are very pleased to present to you this 2017 Wage and Benefit Survey Report. Now in its ninth iteration, this bi-annual survey forms a unique picture of nonprofit employment in the southwestern Pennsylvania region. Since the year 2000, we have charted the shape of nonprofit employment, gathering data on compensation, benefits and careers. It is a useful tool for all nonprofits to benchmark their executive compensation against the market as required on the IRS Form 990. It also remains useful to nonprofit boards hiring new staff or seeking fair compensation for the thousands of hard-working nonprofit employees in our region. Job seekers also make regular use of this information.
