Participate Now in the 2024 Grantmaker Salary and Benefits Survey
The 2024 Grantmaker Salary and Benefits Survey is open to participants now through May. Since 1980, the annual Grantmaker Salary and Benefits (GSB) Survey has provided the philanthropic sector with the most comprehensive data on foundation staff and board compensation. The annual GSB report is an invaluable tool for grantmakers to inform budgeting, talent recruitment, retention strategies, and personnel policies and practices.
Your participation in the GSB survey is needed – the greater the participation, the greater the insights for the sector and for your fellow Philanthropy Southeast members. Through a partnership with the Council on Foundations (COF), Philanthropy Southeast uses data from the GSB to provide custom salary tables for grantmakers from our region each fall (typically early October).
What are the benefits for participating organizations?
All survey participants (both COF members and non-members) will receive:
- Free access to the GSB Report
- Early access to the report’s data tables
- Access to create custom benchmark reports
Reports and data are expected to be released in fall 2024.
How can your foundation participate?
Visit the COF website to learn more and for detailed instructions on how to complete the survey.
