Where can I find a good resourse on average non-profit pay scales?

Asked by evander (465

I am applying for a job that requires I state my salary requirements in the cover letter. I am very flexible but I don't want to grossly under or over-state my salary requirements. The job is located in North Carolina, but a general scale would be fine as I can convert using a cost of living calculator.

there is a publication called "the wage and benefits survey" published in northern CA every year. it focuses on nonprofits only.

go to www.idealist.org and search for nonprofits in your state.. you'll find all the openings there... by looking at all of the job listings, you'll have a good idea for a salary range. it really all depends on your skills and background... the executive director of red cross could be making hundreds of thousands of dollars while americorp volunteers make....

I'd recommend http://www.guidestar.org/news/features/2006_comp_rpt.jsp. This has comprehensive information on nonprofit salaries for cities throughout the US.

Salary.com has come a LONG way since it's inception. Salary info stats on labor boards can be hard to weed through and job descriptions can be hard to come by. Take a look:
