#TipTuesday: Do not price a nonprofit leadership role around what the last person earned. Price it around today’s scope, complexity, authority and market. You are hiring for the organization’s next chapter, not replacing its past.

Your nonprofit’s CEO pay benchmark may already be outdated. New analysis finds the projected 2026 market runs 8.7% ahead of median CEO pay in organizations’ newest Schedule J filings. Historical data is a starting point, not the current market.

If your executive job description needs its own table of contents, it may be time to revisit the role. Adding responsibilities may look efficient, but an unworkable scope narrows the candidate pool and increases turnover risk.

What most often makes a senior nonprofit role unworkable? A. Too many responsibilities B. Too little authority C. Insufficient resources D. Compensation below scope Reply with your choice and what you are seeing.

Nonprofit leadership roles are expanding across strategy, operations, compliance and fundraising. But when authority, resources and compensation do not grow with the scope, the role becomes a hiring risk. Read our latest article: zurl.co/iwnft

#TipTuesday Before expanding a senior role, ask: Does the leader have the authority, resources and compensation to deliver? Can one person realistically do the work well? A broad role can be strategic. An overloaded role creates hiring risk. #nonprofitleadership

Nonprofit hiring challenges are rarely just sourcing problems. Burnout, compensation, culture, workload and funding instability all affect whether strong leaders accept and stay. Before launching a search, ask: Are we prepared to support the leader we want to hire?

When hiring your next fundraising leader, don’t just ask, “Can they raise money?” Ask, “Can they diversify revenue, strengthen funder trust and lead through uncertainty?” Today’s nonprofits need strategic revenue leaders, not just strong fundraisers. #nonprofitleadership
