With projected salary increase budgets for 2026 averaging just 3.2% to 3.6% for nonprofits, many organizations are struggling to offer competitive compensation. This, combined with high turnover rates (over 13%) driven by burnout and job stress, makes strategic compensation planning more critical than ever. Even with above-average salary increases, nonprofits are still losing talent. It’s clear that a comprehensive approach is needed to retain top staff.
