Get Your Copy: Fair Pay for Southern California Nonprofits:
The 2026 Compensation & Benefits Survey

California’s nonprofit sector, which employs around 10% of the state’s workforce and provides vital services to communities throughout the state, is impacted by continuing inflation, uncertainty around funding sources, concern about softening economic conditions, and shifting federal government policies. In this environment, the 2026 survey report provides information not available anywhere else to nonprofit leaders responsible for their organizations’ compensation and benefits policies.

More than 300 nonprofit organizations participated in the 2026 survey, which reports compensation levels for 230 jobs.
