If you’re asking the question you shouldn’t work at one
Really low… that’s why I pivoted!
Totally depends. My salary jumped 55% when I went from Director at an agency to Director of Comms at a nonprofit. I had about 11 years of experience at the time. Just ask the right questions when you interview to get a sense of resources, work/life balance, leadership, goals, etc. Some nonprofits are a complete shit show.
The top salaries are always listed on the organization’s 990, which should be publicly available. Salaries are often quite low until you get to senior levels, but if it's a good org, they will often make it up with strong benefits.
Non-existent
I work for a non-profit in New Orleans and it’s about the same if I was working at a for-profit.
