Research Reveals Gender Pay Gap in Nonprofit Sector

According to its annual Wage and Benefit Survey, Robert Morris University’s Bayer Center for Nonprofit Management finds the nonprofit sector has even further to go. Women in the sector earn 25% less than their male counterparts. Nonprofit Quarterly reported on the findings in this post,including this comment from Peggy Outon, Bayer Center’s executive director: “We’ve made some progress and gained some ground before the Great Recession [in 2008], but since then we’ve hit a plateau,”

Nonprofit boards of directors must own their responsibilities as employers and citizens and refuse to allow pay inequity to be the norm.- Peggy Outon
