Nonprofit Bridge

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 that 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, so we shouldn’t only focus on the 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 have options even with limited resources – but it can be challenging at times.
