Click here to check if your Central Indiana Nonprofit has completed the 2025 salary survey.
What is the Central Indiana Nonprofit Survey Report?
A comprehensive compensation report that includes salary information for the 26 most popular Central Indiana nonprofit positions and typical benefits for the executive director. As we are all keenly aware, in this competitive labor market, area nonprofits need this data now more than ever to develop recruiting and retention strategies and to guide and assist board members in assembling appropriate staff leadership compensation packages. As a way of saying “thanks” for completing the salary survey, you will receive early access to the comprehensive compensation report in June 2025, for free.
Will the salaries be anonymous?
Each organization’s salary information is anonymous. The names of participating organizations are listed in the report but no specific information is tied to any organization so you can feel confident in sharing. The data is not shared or used for any other purposes. See the previous report.
Is there a cost for the salary report?
No, the 2025 Central Indiana Salary & Benefits report is free of charge thanks to our generous sponsors underwriting it. Please support them: NFP, Charitable Allies, National Bank of Indianapolis, and Barnes Dennig.
Who should complete the salary survey?
The survey should be completed by someone with access to payroll information—generally the HR director or Chief Operations Officer in larger organizations and the executive director in smaller organizations. Only one person per organization can complete the survey.
If you have not yet submitted the contact information for the person who will complete the salary survey, please complete the form below. If you have already submitted your information, you do not need to submit it again.
Which nonprofits are eligible?
The organization must have at least one paid position. The nonprofit needs to be located in Central Indiana (Marion county or the surrounding doughnut counties.) The survey does not include churches, hospitals, or educational institutions.
How to prepare to take the survey?
1. Schedule 20-40 minutes to complete it in February
2. Have access to 2025 payroll information
3. Know the executive director’s benefit package
4. Review the Positions Checklist to know how your position match
When will I receive my organization’s salary URL link?
An email will be sent to the contact person at your organization on Feb. 3. If you did not receive the email, please contact Julie Struble.
What if my employee works multiple roles?
Many staff at small to mid-sized organizations wear multiple hats, working a portion of two or three positions. If this is the case in your non-profit, choose the title in the survey that the employee is doing at least 50% of time. If that is still unclear, think about what primary skill set and education you would hire if you were replacing the person in that position.
For example, if your development/marketing manager spends 50% of their time on fundraising, 25% or his/her time on admin/reception and 25% on marketing/communication -they are best identified as a Director of Development.
Can I save my answers, after starting the survey, to finish later?
Yes. Just close our of the the internet browser. To continue working, you must use the same computer and web browser. The survey will resume where you left off at.
When will I receive the compensation report?
The salary report will be emailed to the person who completed the survey in early June 2025. (Non-participating organizations will not have access to the report until September 2025.)
What dates are the salary survey open?
The survey is open through March 16, 2025. Organization who complete the survey, will be entered into a drawing to win, one of three, $50 Visa gift cards.
