Consulting for Philanthropic and Nonprofit Organizations

Compensation Consulting Services

Our consulting services for nonprofit and grantmaking organizations help clients develop market-based, insightful compensation strategies to motivate, retain and reward employees. We offer customized solutions to help foundations and nonprofits adapt to changing labor markets, complex regulatory landscapes, organizational change or internal states of flux. Our nonprofit consulting data and insights help clients manage change in their pay programs as they grow, reorganize or integrate with other organizations.

We also publish the Croner Compensation Survey of Foundations, considered the gold standard benchmark resource for total compensation information and data in the foundation sector. The survey contains everything required to know how to be competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating talent. Our nonprofit consulting uses the results of our annual survey to provide strong data analytics and pragmatic solutions to our clients.
