As most of us in the field know, nonprofit salaries usually fall short of their counterparts in the private sector.  A new posting at Payscale, Nonprofit Jobs: Flexibility and Opportunity at a Cost, points out there are opportunities for late career changes and baby boomers to fill the gap in personnel recently reported by Bridgespan. The article also points out the advantages of working for nonprofit, and that shouldn’t focus only on compensation.

An especially interesting quote was from Roberta Chinsky Matuson who said, “the most challenging part will be for the employee to recognize that they will work with an extremely limited budget and resources.”  As a technology resource focused on online fundraising, I believe even the smallest organizations with limited resources always have options resources – even though it can be challenging.
