What are Top 10 Highest Paying Cities for Nonprofit Leadership Jobs

We’ve identified 10 cities where the typical salary for a Nonprofit Leadership job is above the national average. Topping the list is New York City, NY, with Berkeley, CA and Bend, OR close behind in the second and third positions. Bend, OR beats the national average by $25,047 (16.1%), and New York City, NY furthers that trend with another $30,648 (19.7%) above the $155,581 average.

With these 10 cities having average salaries higher than the national average, the opportunities for economic advancement by changing locations as a Nonprofit Leadership appears to be exceedingly fruitful.

Finally, another factor to consider is the average salary for these top ten cities varies very little at 5% between New York City, NY and Clovis, NM, reinforcing the limited potential for much wage advancement. The possibility of a lower cost of living may be the best factor to use when considering location and salary for a Nonprofit Leadership role.
