The Foraker Group

Foraker has been publishing surveys to support human resources within Alaska nonprofits since 2002. This year brings more improvements for our Partners:

• Efficiencies from automating in 2010 make it possible to repeat the full survey in 2012 – salary and benefits – rather than doing a salary-only version as we’ve done in the past.
• We’re also moving up the publication date significantly to best support our Partners that operate on a July-to-June fiscal year. Survey participation will run November to mid-December.
• Pricing on the survey is the same as 2010 and greatly below other market surveys:
  • $75.00 – Foraker Partners that participate in the survey
  • $150.00 – Foraker Partners that do not participate
  • $250.00 – Other nonprofit organizations that participate in the survey
  • $300.00 – Other nonprofit organizations that do not participate
• The Executive Summary will again be provided at no cost to all participants.
• 2010 participants will be able to review and update their data for 2012 saving significant time on data entry.

Some of you are huge supporters and users of our surveys and use the data we provide to:

• Set salaries for new positions in your organization
• Review your over-all salary structure for comparability with like organizations
• Satisfy IRS requirements to support salaries for senior staff at higher compensation levels with survey data of comparable positions

In addition, we’ll evaluate trends and provide comparative tables to show what’s happened in our sector from one survey period to the next.

The survey is open for participation from now to mid-December and can be accessed directly by clicking here or from the Foraker home page by selecting Salary and Benefits Survey under Quick Links on the right of the page.

If you are a 2010 participant, enter the e-mail and password used in 2010 – the system will provide the password if needed. If you need additional assistance on access, contact Rebecca Savidis at 907-743-1210.

We urge your participation – the more data we collect the better the quality of the information we report.

Thank you for your help in gathering this important information.
