Wisconsin Nonprofit Compensation & Benefits Survey

Project

Wisconsin’s nonprofit sector is not just a part of our communities; it’s a vital component contributing to their health and vibrancy. The work done by nonprofit professionals, often driven by love and passion for a specific cause, is invaluable. The Helen Bader Institute (HBI) for Nonprofit Management at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee firmly believes that nonprofit employees should be appropriately compensated for the great work they do in making a positive difference in the lives of Wisconsin residents.

Information about employee compensation and benefits is one of the top requests at HBI. Based on these requests, we acknowledge that last year’s crises considerably impacted nonprofits in terms of salary and benefits. In response to your needs, we are launching this survey to provide timely and relevant information—focused on nonprofits.
Our 2024 Wisconsin Nonprofit Compensation and Benefits Survey is available to Wisconsin nonprofits. The survey, open until September 27, 2024, is designed to gather comprehensive data on nonprofit compensation and benefits in Wisconsin. The subsequent report provides nonprofits with valuable compensation and benefits data to inform their organization’s and employees’ critical decisions. Nonprofits participating in the forthcoming survey receive a free copy of the report.
Why is this survey critical?
  • Your organization’s employees are its greatest asset. How you compensate your most significant asset impacts your organization’s overall performance.
  • This survey is critical to evaluating your organization’s compensation and benefits strategy to help attract and retain the best talent.
Is this survey confidential?
We anonymized all data for reporting purposes. Any organizational identifiers are kept separate from sensitive information. We only used this data to:
  • help screen for duplicates.
  • determine whether or not your organization will receive a free copy of the subsequent report.
