The first survey of the two-part King County Nonprofit Employment Surveys, the Wage & Benefits Survey, is open now until May 2, 2021!
Participation is open to all King County-based and serving nongovernmental, nonprofit entities. One employee from each nonprofit should complete the Wage & Benefits Survey. The employee should be familiar with compensation and benefits such as an Executive Director, Human Resources staff or a Finance Manager. The survey questions will ask about pay levels and benefits. Survey completion time varies depending on the size and structure of an organization.
Take the Wage & Benefits survey now or share the survey link with the appropriate staff member in your organization.

Wage & Benefits Survey
Funded through the King County Veterans, Seniors and Human Services Levy (VSHSL) and administered by our partner 501 Commons, the surveys will help nonprofit organizations better understand the array of influences – including wages – which contribute to successful employee recruitment, retention and satisfaction in the nonprofit sector.
It is important that organizations of all sizes and types participate in the survey for the resulting information to be as robust and reliable as possible.
Organizations funded by the VSHSL and any of their nonprofit subcontractors funded by the VSHSL, are required to complete the Wage & Benefits survey and the upcoming Employee Engagement survey.
Data gathered through the surveys will be analyzed and offered as a free informational resource that nonprofit leadership teams may utilize to inform evaluation of their operations.
