Controversial Nonprofit Compensation: Are We Missing the Point?
Submitted by Steve on August 14, 2012
From Angela Francis, Senior Associate at the Nonprofit Finance Fund, for the ASU Lodestar Center blog:
We often talk about nonprofit executive compensation in skeptical terms: how much is too much? While no one supports wasteful public spending or abuse of power, the cases that grab headlines and provoke legislation are actually far from the norm. At Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF), what we see far more often is staff turnover due to burnout and low pay.
We routinely work with nonprofits that are struggling to determine if it’s financially possible to make a much-needed new hire, even on a part-time or contractor basis.
