The Salary Chronicles: A $20K Raise at a Nonprofit

Welcome to The Salary Chronicles, where we’re bringing transparency to negotiation and salaries, one story at a time. We ask women to share their experiences negotiating their salaries and what their advice is for others doing the same. We share these stories anonymously so they feel comfortable speaking as openly and as freely as possible.

This week, we’re speaking with a woman who negotiated her salary while working for a nonprofit. She believes that even though salaries are typically lower than in the private sector, you still deserve to be compensated fairly for your work in the public or nonprofit sector. You can do good by doing well.
