Your participation is vital in ensuring this Salary Survey data is as relevant and useful to Pennsylvania nonprofits as possible.

What is the 2012 Nonprofit Salary Survey?
Prepared in collaboration with the National Council of Nonprofits, and produced by experts at Columbia Books, who have over 30 years of experience conducting compensation reports, this annual salary survey is designed specifically for nonprofits. It is the fastest and easiest-to-use salary survey available.

The final report will include:
• Hard data to analyze your nonprofit´s salary structure
• Specific market salary information for multiple positions
• Easy-to-read charts including median salaries, average salaries and more
• Changes in nonprofit pay levels from one year to the next
• Salary differences by budget and staff size
• Confidential coding so that all survey participants can compare their own pay levels to comparable nonprofit organizations

The report will be available in June 2012.
