Nonprofit Research
Maryland Nonprofits plays a leading role in conducting sector research across the state and Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area. Our reports focus on improving the management practices of nonprofit organizations, and raising awareness about the sector’s impact.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS REPORT
The 2018 Salary Survey gives a picture of current employee compensation and benefits trends and practices in Maryland’s nonprofit sector. The report will help you establish salary and benefits packages for employees that are competitive and fair.
2018 Nonprofit Salary Survey
KEY FINDINGS:
-
The gender pay gap persists. Organizations with larger revenues are more likely to have white, male CEOs. A majority of Maryland’s nonprofits are led by women, but they are compensated at a rate 14% less than their male counterparts.
-
Diversity of leadership is correlated with the size of organizational revenue. As organizational revenue increases, organizations are less likely to have a Black, Hispanic, or Latinx CEO.
