2025 SC Nonprofit Compensation & Benefits Briefing – Funder & Sponsor Session
Join Together SC and the Joseph P. Riley Jr. Center for Livable Communities at the College of Charleston for an exclusive deep dive into the results of the 2025 South Carolina Nonprofit Compensation and Benefits Study — research you helped make possible.
This session will:
- Share key statewide trends in nonprofit pay, benefits, and workforce sentiment.
- Highlight equity gaps that persist, including racial and gender pay disparities.
- Examine how rising salaries compare to South Carolina’s cost of living — and what that means for sustainability in the sector.
- Explore differences in compensation and benefits between small and large nonprofits.
- Discuss how your investment is shaping strategic decisions across the nonprofit landscape.
- This is your opportunity to see the direct impact of your support, understand emerging needs, and connect with other philanthropic leaders committed to strengthening South Carolina’s nonprofit workforce.
