A nonprofit salary report for a board process

Boards and their advisors often need more than a salary search. They need a report whose criteria can be described in minutes and revisited later. 990Search keeps the selected role and peer filters attached to the nonprofit compensation analysis and suppresses statistics for very small comparison groups.

A nonprofit compensation benchmarking tool

Compare nonprofit salaries by state, analyze salary by job title, and refine the comparison by organization size. The selected peer group can support executive pay research, board discussion, and review of compensation trends across filing years when comparable data is available.

Public Form 990 data, organized for salary benchmarking

The source records come from publicly available IRS Form 990 filings. 990Search organizes reported compensation into searchable roles and produces organization-level benchmarks. Results are informational, may require professional interpretation, and should not be the sole basis for an employment, legal, tax, or financial decision.
