This event is co-sponsored by Maine Philanthropy Center, NH Center for Nonprofits, and Maine Association of Nonprofits.

What does “a living wage” actually mean? Why isn’t being paid the minimum wage enough for people to get by? Join us for a free, virtual lunch & learn with Professor Amy Glasmeier, architect of the MIT Living Wage Calculator, to learn about a tool that can help nonprofit employers compare wages, set wages, form policy around wage rates, create competitive human resource programs, and stand out among their peers.

Through this webinar, participants will:

  • Learn about the difference between “living wage” and other measures of basic needs
  • Get ideas for using the Living Wage Calculator to inform your compensation philosophy
  • Have the opportunity to ask questions of a leading researcher on living wages

Intended Audience
All are welcome, and nonprofit funders, board members, executive directors, finance staff and human resources professionals are especially encouraged to attend.
