The 2026 Salary & Benefits Report
NAM and the Iowa Nonprofit Alliance have partnered with the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Center for Public Affairs Research to gather timely compensation and benefits data from nonprofits across Nebraska and Iowa.
The annual S&B report answers questions like:
- How do I know what are the average salary increases?
- Who offers health insurance and what is the average employer/employee share?
- What are the changes & trends in employee benefits?
- How do other nonprofit organizations determine bonuses?
