Now more than ever, hiring and retaining great workers is one of the biggest challenges we face as nonprofits. That’s why Common Good Vermont teams up with the New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits and Maine Association of Nonprofits every two years to collect the latest data on wages and benefits from our tri-state area. Each state produces a state-specific report on Wages and Benefits which tells an important and deeply informative story about the health and viability of our sector and best practices for you to assess as you make decisions in your own organization.
How much does the Report Cost? The cost for the 2026 Digital Report is $200 for non-participants of the survey. CGVT Members receive a discount, please see member portal for details. The survey is conducted every two years and participants of the Survey receive the Report for free.

Why Purchase the Report?
Vital Sector Trends: Timely information about nonprofit staffing and compensation is perhaps more important than ever. This year, the report includes important data about the impacts of nonprofit staffing shortages, wages and benefits, as well as look at executive director wages by race, gender and experience.
Talent Matters: People power our missions and to attract and retain talent nonprofits need to set competitive wages and benefits.
Reliable + Relevant: Nonprofits must justify organizational compensation to their boards, the IRS, and the general public. This tool is the most relevant source of information available to help Vermont nonprofits develop a competitive compensation strategy AND comply with IRS regulations requiring nonprofit boards to document their process for setting executive compensation.
