Nonprofit Consulting Services

With our nonprofit consulting we help clients develop market-based, insightful compensation strategies
to motivate, retain and reward employees. We offer customized
solutions to help foundations and nonprofits adapt to changing labor
markets, complex regulatory landscapes, organizational change, or internal
states of flux. Our nonprofit consulting data and insights help clients manage change
in their pay programs as they grow, reorganize, or integrate with other
organizations.

Nonprofit Compensation Consultants

Our nonprofit compensation consultants have extensive experience creating competitive nonprofit compensation programs
for major U.S. foundations and nonprofits. The Croner Company
acquired Lasnik∞Broida Consultants, Inc. in 2016 to build on the
strengths of the two nationally recognized boutique consulting
firms, blending Croner’s high-level, high-touch data analytics
approach with Lasnik∞Broida’s annual survey of foundations and consulting
services to foundations and nonprofits.

We publish the Croner Total Compensation
Survey of Foundations, considered the gold standard benchmark resource
for total compensation information and data in the foundation
sector. The survey contains everything required to know how to be
competitive in attracting, retaining, and motivating talent. Our nonprofit consulting utilizes the
results of our annual survey to provide strong data analytics and pragmatic
solutions to our clients.
