Introduction
About the Survey
In 1996, the Colorado Nonprofit Association (then CANPO) began publishing a series of salary and
benefits reports that were to become the bi-annual Colorado Nonprofit Salary and Benefits Survey.
This year, we bring you the 2014 Colorado Nonprofit Salary and Benefits Survey based on data
compiled from 456 responding organizations reporting on 5,405 employees across 87 positions.
The Benefits section details insurance, leave time and other benefits offered by Colorado nonprofits.
Use this section to compare your benefits programs with those of other organizations and to design a
competitive package to attract and retain highly qualified employees.
The Salaries section provides compensation data broken down by budget, geographic region, and
focus of service, and includes data on the minimum level of experience and education required for
each position. Use the Salaries section to review salaries of existing positions, set salaries for new
positions, and create budgets.
For each position, you will see an average salary as well as salaries at the 25th, 50th, and 75th
percentiles.
25th percentile: The point at which 25% of the responses are below and 75% are above.
50th percentile: The point at which 50% of the responses are below and 50% are above. This figure is
the same as the median.
75th percentile: The point at which 75% of the responses are below and 25% are above.
How to Use the Survey

Comparing Job Roles & Titles (or Why Isnt My Job Title Listed Here?)
Nonprofits have terrifically varied staff, positions and job responsibilities! In a compensation report,
positions must be carefully defined. The more specialized each job description is, the fewer responses
there will be to analyze and report. (An extreme result would be a set of hundreds or even thousands
of specific job titles, each with detailed job descriptions, but with only one data point one
employee per job.)
Therefore, this publication intentionally uses broadly-defined job roles and titles. Survey participants
are asked to choose, from a list of pre-defined positions, the ones that most closely match the
positions at their organizations. To use this publication effectively, you should do the same. A quick tip
for cause-related positions: consider the generic positions and their broad job descriptions in the
Programs section.
If the survey includes no single position that closely or exactly matches a particular position in your
organization, look for two or more similar positions and use those multiple salary figures to set a
reasonable salary for the position at your organization.
Unfortunately, this report cannot include data on every nonprofit position. While many positions have
responsibilities, skills and job requirements that are comparable to the more general positions listed
here, others may be too highly specialized for such comparison. If you have a position youd like to
see included in the 2016 edition, please visit www.ColoradoNonprofits.org to let us know.

Introduction
Why are some salary figures blank?
When there are three or fewer responses for a specific salary level, only the average is shown. When
there are at least four responses, both the average and the 50th percentile are shown. The 25th and
75th percentile salaries are shown only when there are five or more responses.
Some salary data sections, such as compensation for a position by budget size, geographic region,
or focus of service, have been omitted because insufficient data exist to report compensation for at
least two categories.
Confidentiality
Survey responses are entirely confidential. Colorado Nonprofit Association maintains the secure
online collection instrument, performed data analysis, and prepared the final report. Individual
responses are never shared outside the Association. Survey responses are shared only in aggregate,
according to the analysis guidelines described in this publication.
Survey responses are, at the discretion of individual respondents, entirely anonymous. No identifying
information is required from organizations completing the survey.
Methodology
Data Collection
Survey data were collected via an online survey instrument from February through April 2014.
Requests for participation were sent via email to nonprofit members and other contacts of the
Colorado Nonprofit Association. As an incentive, survey participants receive a 50% discount on the
purchase of this publication.
In early April, we reviewed the collected survey responses. We identified potential gaps, such as a
relative lack of responses from organizations in a particular budget range, geographic area, or focus
of service. We then sent targeted requests for participation to Colorado Nonprofit Association
members in the identified categories.
Our goal for the Salary & Benefits Survey is to produce the most comprehensive report possible by
collecting data from as many nonprofit employers as possible. To encourage participation, we chose
to deviate from two common survey practices:
1. Required responses: in this survey instrument, there are no questions which require a response.
If a respondent was unsure about one particular question, the survey instrument allowed that
question to be skipped, rather than forcing the respondent to choose between entering a
(potentially meaningless) answer, or abandoning the survey altogether.
2. Required formats: this survey instrument generally did not require open-ended responses to be
in a specific format (such as a number). Multiple-choice checkboxes or drop-down menus
were used for questions in which it was necessary for all valid responses to belong to a pre-
defined group, such as an organizations focus of service or a specific job title.

Introduction
Data Validity
We identified invalid data based on response format (such as a text response to a numeric question)
and by searching for outliers at both high and low ends of responses to each question.
Some of the original responses have been edited where appropriate, at Colorado Nonprofit
Associations discretion, for the purposes of consistency, correction, or use in calculations. Some
examples of these edits include:
Converting text responses to numeric formats so that calculations and analysis could be
performed, such as changing 1.2 million to 1,200,000, or converting a response of
immediately [months] to 0 [months].
Ensuring consistency for responses in the form of percentages. For questions such as what
percent of insurance premium does the organization pay? some responses are entered as
50[%] while others are 0.50[%]. Where the intended response is clear in the context of the
question 50% vs. 5000% or 0.5% responses were edited to ensure a consistent scale.
Changing numeric ranges to single numeric responses so that calculations could be
performed, such as converting a response of 20%-30% to 25%.
Correcting outliers in cases where the intended response is obvious, such as when an hourly
pay rate was accidentally entered into the field for annual salary or vice versa.
Outlier responses were identified and examined on a question-by-question basis. Generally, outlier
data were presumed valid and used in the analysis. There were two primary exceptions to this
standard:
Outlier data which were clearly invalid and the intended response was evident; these
responses were edited and the corrected versions used in the analysis. (See examples of data
edits, above.)
Outlier data which were apparently invalid and without any evident intended response, such
as pay rates below the legal minimum wage; these data points were discarded.
