Policies & Practices in Nonprofit Organizations
Special Nonprofit Policies & Practices - 2003
PUBLISHED: June 2003
For the past sixteen years, Abbott, Langer & Associates, Inc. has been
conducting the most intensive and extensive surveys of compensation
and fringe benefits & working conditions in
nonprofit organizations extant. Because of this, they have received frequent
requests for information in this field.

Despite the depth to which these surveys examined nonprofit policies and
practices, some of the questions put to them could not be answered. Finally,
almost in desperation, they embarked on a third series of surveys - devoted to
"spot" questions, which are beyond the scope of the other two survey
series.
Copies of the complete 95-page report entitled Special Nonprofit Policies
& Practices - 2003 can be purchased for $250.00
through our On-Line
Order Form or from Abbott, Langer & Associates, Inc., Dept. NET, 548
First St., Crete, IL 60417 (telephone 708/672-4200; fax 708/672-4674).
A few of the findings of the first survey in this series (varying by type of
organization, size of organization, and geographic location - all of which are
addressed in Special Nonprofit Policies & Practices - 2003) were:
- Over 80% of Chief Executive Officers in nonprofit organizations operate
with a written position description.
- Employment contracts are still not the prevailing practice for Chief
Executive Officers in nonprofit organizations. Overall, only about 28% of
CEOs have employment contracts.
- Unlike business and industry, incentive bonuses are not yet the
predominant practice in nonprofit organizations. In nonprofit organizations,
only 27.5% of Chief Executive Officers receive incentive bonuses.
- Almost two-thirds (62.5%) of nonprofits either provide a cellular or car
phone for the use of their Chief Executive Officer or compensate him or her
for same, and almost one-half with a personal or laptop computer.
- Forty-four percent of nonprofits have provisions for their Chief Executive
Officers to be covered with a supplemental disability policy, 45% with a
supplemental medical policy, and almost the same percentage of nonprofits
with a supplemental medical policy.
- Ignoring those nonprofits where no travel is necessary, 38.4% of
nonprofits reimburse members of their Boards of Directors for travel and
living expenses to both Board and committee meetings. An additional 11.6% do
so just to Board meetings.
- The predominant practice is for nonprofit organizations to grant pay
raises to their employees every year (occurring in 83.4% of the reporting
nonprofit organizations).
- Telecommuting is not a common occurrence in nonprofits.
