By systematically evaluating and adjusting compensation structures, nonprofits can better attract and retain talent, ultimately driving greater social impact. Implementing pay equity is not just a moral imperative—it's a strategic advantage that ensures long-term sustainability and success in fulfilling the organization's mission.
