Counterfactuals and how they change our view of what does good

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of a survey on nonprofit compensation conducted in 2012 among organizations in Tennessee and surrounding states. The report analyses nonprofit staffing patterns, salaries, benefits, and volunteer and board participation. In addition to reporting on regional trends, the report also compares the survey results with national data collected by GuideStar in 2010. Notably, the median salary for executive directors/CEOs was between $50,000 and $75,000. The likelihood of offering health insurance increases with organizational budget size, with 100% of large organizations offering health insurance. 31.6% of organizations offer a bonus program, while 63.8% of respondents provide dental insurance and 49% provide vision insurance. The most popular retirement plans are 401(k) plans and 403(b) plans. Finally, the report highlights the use of volunteers by nonprofits and notes a correlation between volunteer participation and organizational size. – AI-generated abstract.
