How much do non-profit jobs pay?

Meaning much of the revenue generated by nonprofits goes to their missions rather than to contributing to high employee wages or salaries. Nonprofit salaries and wages are also affected by these factors:

• The location of the organization

• Its specific mission or missions

• The experience of its employees

• The cost of living in the area it resides

While the pay nonprofits give their employees can have high variance, here is a look at two nonprofit positions and their average salaries in the United States:

• Nonprofit program manager - Average annual salary of $52,000

• Nonprofit executive director - Average annual salary of $71,000

These are both senior positions in the field of nonprofits. So, we can approximate that lower-level positions at nonprofits probably have average salaries in the range of $30,000 to $40,000 per year. It is also worth noting that many nonprofits give their employees benefits as another form of compensation, this might include things like:

• Health, vision, and dental insurance plans

• Paid time off (PTO)

• Retirement plans
