Nonprofits anticipate an average staff pay increase of 3.3 percent for 2003 - a bit less than 2002's average raise of nearly 3.7 percent. The projected salary bump in 2004 sits at roughly 3.4 percent. But, when filling open positions, mostly they are paying less. A salary drop is most pronounced for planned giving Planned Giving is an area of fundraising that refers to several specific gift types that can be funded with cash or property. These gift vehicles are based on United States tax law. officers. The projected 2003 average salary for that position will decrease $4,147, or roughly 6.3 percent. The average salary for the top executive job projected for 2003 at $88,749, a decrease of $252 from 2002's $89,001.

Only two positions' average salary increase -- director of volunteers (5.7 percent) and chief of technology (3.7 percent) -- are projected to beat the latest 2002 rate of inflation (2.37 percent for the year as of November November: see month. , according to the U.S. Department of Labor). The position showing the largest gain in 2003 by dollars is chief of technology at an average increase of $2,094, or 3.7 percent. This is the second year this position is included in the survey. Salary averages for an organization's leader, planned giving officers, major gifts officers and webmasters are projected to decline 0.28 percent, 6.3 percent, 0.72 percent and 0.19 percent respectively. Average increases for the other spots (chief of direct marketing, CFO See Chief Financial Officer. , program director and development director) range from 0.26 percent for chief of direct marketing to 2 percent for program director. The results show stability overall, although certain sections of the nation are a little rocky. "I come away, (after) taking a look at this, saying stability is a good thing," said David Edell, president of executive search firm DRG-Development Resources Group in New York City New York City: see New York, city. New York City City (pop., 2000: 8,008,278), southeastern New York, at the mouth of the Hudson River. The largest city in the U.S. . He said the responses were particularly good, "in this environment, in this economy, as it compares to what is happening in the private sector," where employment stability is much more vulnerable.

This news comes despite the fact that the top job are more likely to be females (54.4 percent) than male (45.6 percent), according to survey responses. "The trend reflects what we're seeing, which is a much greater awareness of prior imbalances and inequities, a much greater sensitivity to the issue, and an attempt on the part of a lot of hiring organizations with the help of people who are involved ... to make sure that gender isn't an issue in the negotiating process," Edell said. Information on the following nonprofit positions was sought in the NPT Salary Survey: executive director/CEO/president, chief financial officer, program director, planned giving officer, development director, major gifts officer, chief of direct marketing, director of volunteers, webmaster A person responsible for the implementation of a Web site. Webmasters must be proficient in HTML as well as one or more scripting and interface languages such as JavaScript and Perl. They may also have experience with more than one type of Web server. See Web administrator and Webmistress. , and chief of technology. The mean projected salaries for these positions for 2003 are: * Executive director/CEO/president-- $88,749 * Chief financial officer-- $60,675 * Program director-- $52,253 * Planned giving officer-- $62,019 * Development director-- $55,807 * Major gifts officer-- $56,850 * Chief of direct marketing-- $52,812 * Director of volunteers-- $35,267 * Webmaster-- $38,498 * Chief of technology-- $58,595. Average salaries at four nonprofit management-level positions are projected to decline for the first time this century. Projected salary decreases are insignificant and "often reflect job changes and the ability to bring in someone at a level different from a more seasoned executive who may have left the position," Edell said.

"They have continued to replace executive directors when they needed them." True to form, nonprofits with the largest budgets paid executive directors the most in 2002.

An overwhelming number of executives (87 percent) receive a raise annually. Approximately 6 percent said they receive raises in periods longer than two years. Talk of performance-related bonuses fell on deaf ears at a majority of nonprofits. Only 13 percent offer top executives such bonuses. Those organizations that gave their fearless leaders Fearless Leader is a fictional character in the 1959-1964 animated television series Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show, both shows often collectively referred to as Rocky and Bullwinkle. a performance-based bonus paid the CEO position an extra $5,384 and nearly 8.7 percent of their salary on average. Chief financial officers got an average 6.7 percent increase, which equates to $3,416. Webmasters charted the highest average performance-based bonus by percentage of salary at 12 percent or $2,500. Edell said his firm is witnessing more bonus and incentive arrangements involved in compensation agreements. Nearly 69 percent of nonprofits, however, don't give their top executives an employment contract. Organizations that offer an employment contract likely give it to a chief executive, and the offer most commonly covers starting salary with expense allowances a distant second.

Even when an employment contract is in hand, executives shouldn't expect a one-time bonus. Just less than half (46 percent) of responding organizations said if they had to recruit a new CEO they wouldn't consider a one-time bonus.
