Philadelphia Business Journal: Nonprofit pay tilts heavily toward men:

The Philadelphia area isn’t a bad place to work for a nonprofit, especially if you’re a male who’s running one.

A survey of the region’s nonprofits conducted by the Nonprofit Center at LaSalle University found that the vast majority offer a variety of benefits, while planning to give pay raises this year.

The 2005 Greater Delaware Valley Nonprofit Wage and Benefit Survey also found that male executive directors earn, on average, 42 percent more than women in the same post. That statistic is particularly interesting because of the margin by which women outnumber men in the nonprofit sector, said Laura Otten, who directs the LaSalle Nonprofit Center.

“If you pull together a group of 20 [nonprofit workers], you’re probably going to have 16 women and four men,” Otten said.

… The survey suggests that the women running nonprofits need the increase more than their male counterparts. The average salary received by male executive directors was $109,000, while the average salary earned by female executive directors was $76,973.

That roughly $32,000 differential is larger than the $29,524 one between the average salaries of male and female executive directors that showed up in the NonProfit Times 2005 Salary Survey.
