Non-Profit Comp Analysis & Planning Process

NFPCC has traversed the regulatory climate and worked with hundreds of local, regional and national not-for-profit organizations to provide effective compensation programs unique to this sector. Our process and methodology ensure well-developed compensation plans that attract, motivate and retain top talent while preserving the organization’s tax status and intermediate sanction avoidance. NFPCC’s consultants can provide recommendations and best practices for setting not only nonprofit CEO salaries but also non profit salaries for other executives, board of directors and employees of all levels within the organization.

Nonprofit Compensation Consulting Process

Our process includes:

1. 1. Regular interaction with board members and stakeholders. It’s important to understand board composition and culture to develop strategies that maximize board effectiveness. NFPCC can advise on best practices for non-profit Boards.
   2. Communication with company management to best understand the organization’s mission and each person’s role in value creation.
   3. Compensation strategies are most effective when they align with the company’s mission and values.
   4. Obtain nonprofit salary reports and conduct external market comparables to executive roles/responsibilities to establish a basis for comparison, reasonability and competitiveness with other not-for-profit companies within the same industry.
   5. Review current compensation plan as well as historical compensation including potential supplemental executive retirement plan contributions.
   6. Ensure a full understanding of the necessary components of compensation and how each functions, both independently and together.
   7. Develop the proper mix of base salary, incentives and retirement benefits that are unique to the organization. Incentive plans in not-for-profit companies are a great way to boost performance and are proven to attract top performers, however there are important safeguards to consider.
