DECEMBER 2004

Individual Compensation
(Chief executives &/or top-paid staff & consultants)

Nonprofit chief executive salaries rose 3.6% in fiscal 2003, according to a national survey by the Chronicle of Philanthropy. This was the same increase achieved by for-profit chief executives, according to the compensation research firm WorldatWork.


Fundraisers’ salaries rose 4.2%, according to the Association of Fundraising Professionals, while the U.S. rate of inflation was 2.3%.


The Pay column below combines salaries, benefit plan contributions (if any), and expense accounts for the few individuals who are not required to itemize expenses. Individual independent contractors such as attorneys, accountants, and consultants are listed as well as directors and regular staff.


Unfortunately it is not possible to identify from IRS Form 990 which individuals receive perquisites such as free housing or use of a vehicle.


Neither is it possible to accurately identify all of the individuals who donate office space, or otherwise rebate material value to their organizations in a manner amounting to returning compensation. For example, the four employees of ANIMAL PEOPLE donate the use of three offices in different states. Our head office is bigger than the living space in the home of publisher Kim Bartlett and editor Merritt Clifton. Use of donated office space helps significantly to hold down our operating cost, but Form 990 does not provide a way to show the value of this contribution.


The IRS does not require disclosure of non-board compensation under $50,000. British charities must disclose the approximate amount of their highest salaries, but not who receives them.


Norms identified as AFRP come from the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Salary norms identified as ChronPhil come from the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Salary norms identified as GdStr come from <www.GuideStar.org>. Other norms are as identified on the line itself.


Volunteers are listed only if working in a senior leadership capacity full-time or nearly full-time.
