Fair Pay for Southern California Nonprofits: The 2025 Compensation & Benefits Survey

Attract and Retain the Best Employees for Your Organization in 2025 and Beyond

Now open for participation, with new jobs in the Development, Education/Recreation, Housing and Social Services/Behavioral Health areas, as well as an updated “Impact of the Economic Environment” section with new questions about employee engagement/retention, inflation-related contract adjustments and student loan re-payment.

Low unemployment, high costs, uncertainty about shifting governmental policies and evolving workplace practices present challenges for nonprofit employers who manage their organizations’ compensation and benefits policies.

Here’s how your organization will benefit from the survey report:

• Current, local compensation data on 200+ jobs found in nonprofit organizations.
• Base pay levels and bonus/incentive pay for each job with details by annual operating budget, location within the survey region, number of employees and primary field of service
• Employee benefits in detail: paid time off, insurance, retirement
• Salary increases over past year and expected during the next year
• Policies with respect to on-call work, overtime, shift differentials, pay for bilingual skills, introductory periods, performance reviews, DEI practices and more

The survey will also help your organization find out how the local nonprofit community is responding to
current economic conditions. Here are some questions the survey can help nonprofit managers answer:
:

• For what kinds of jobs are nonprofits having difficulty hiring and retaining employees?
• Are nonprofit employees working remotely, in person, or a combination of both?
• What employee turnover rates have organizations experienced during the past year, and how concerned are they about turnover in 2025?

The survey covers these ten Southern California counties: Imperial, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Kern, Orange, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, & Ventura.

The survey is conducted and published by Nonprofit Compensation Associates, Inc. For more information, visit https://socal.nonprofitcomp.com or contact them at 510-645-1005 or survey@nonprofitcomp.com.
