The GuideStar Nonprofit Compensation Report remains the only nonprofit compensation analysis based entirely on IRS data. This authoritative report gives nonprofits the information they need to establish appropriate compensation and demonstrate to grantmakers, oversight agencies, and individual donors that the salaries and benefits they offer are justified.

The 2009 edition, the ninth in this annual series, features:

• 157,406 observations from 99,827 Forms 990, 990-EZ, and 990-PF for fiscal year 2007
• Nonprofits from the entire 501(c) universe—most 501(c) organizations that filed an FY 2007 return with the IRS and had incomes of $1 million or greater
• 14 job categories
• Executive summary showing trends at a glance
• National, state, metropolitan statistical area, gender, and NTEE (National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities) analyses
• Incumbent compensation analysis

The process you use to establish executive compensation is more important than ever. You must describe it on the new IRS Form 990. The IRS has also significantly increased its enforcement efforts in the area of excessive compensation and recently assessed millions of dollars in penalties for these types of violations. In addition, the IRS has indicated that it will now include excess compensation analyses in every future audit it conducts.

Noncompliance has serious consequences. Don't get caught short; purchase the 2009 GuideStar Nonprofit Compensation Report today.
