Session Description
Community foundations today are facing a new reality: talent expectations are rising, pay transparency is the norm, and competition isn’t just across philanthropy—it’s across every sector. In this environment, simply matching the market is no longer enough to attract, retain, and inspire the people driving your mission.
Join compensation thought leaders from C3 Nonprofit Consulting and The Croner Company for a candid, insight-packed conversation on how community foundations are rethinking pay. This session will challenge conventional thinking and offer fresh approaches to building compensation programs that are equitable, flexible, and built for the future of work.
Attendees can expect real-world examples and practical frameworks that include:
- Why “market median” may be costing you your best talent
- How leading foundations are redefining total rewards beyond salary
- What pay transparency really looks like in practice
If compensation has felt like a constraint, this session will show you how it can become a catalyst – for culture, for retention, and for impact.
