Responses from 340 organizations were tabulated into this year's study. All of the categories saw overall increases, from the miniscule 1.2 percent for chief financial officers to the average 11.5 percent for planned giving officers. While planned giving officers were by and large in the middle of the salary pack in actual dollars, they are taking home an average 11.5 percent more in 2001 compared to 2000. Obviously, size does matter. The same holds true for development directors.
Size matters in all categories.
Regions also play into the salary mix. The charts also have a complete breakdown of salary by position and by region. There are a few small catches. Some 17.6 percent of those organizations said that employees would be picking up a larger percentage of the cost. And, 7.7 percent of organizations responded that benefits would be reduced in one form or another.
