Nonprofit Compensation

While many nonprofit organizations are run entirely by volunteers, many others hire employees to carry out the day-to-day work of their mission. In fact, 1 in 6 Maine workers is employed by a nonprofit. Compensation is one important variable in attracting and and retaining talented, committed people to effectively advance your goals.  Total compensation includes both wages and benefits.
