About CauseComp
Our mission
Every nonprofit, whatever its size, should be able to set pay with the same quality of information as the largest organizations.
We believe fair pay starts with knowing what similar organizations pay for the same role. Too often, only the largest can afford to find out. CauseComp makes reliable, relevant and transparent compensation data available to every nonprofit.
Who stands behind it
CauseComp is built and run by RB Consulting Services, LLC, an independent executive compensation advisory firm. The firm's team has two decades of work on both sides of the table: building and running pay programs inside organizations, and advising boards and compensation committees as consultants. Clients range from local nonprofits to global NGOs, as well as public and private companies.
How we work
- We publish our method. Every figure traces to Form 990 filings or federal wage data, and every report shows its data vintage.
- We show base salary separately from total pay, because boards set base salary.
- We show the named organizations behind every executive range.
- We provide comparability data, not legal or tax advice.

Data like this supports, but does not by itself establish, a board's rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under IRC §4958 (intermediate sanctions), which also requires advance approval by an independent board body and contemporaneous documentation. CauseComp provides comparability data for informational purposes and does not provide legal or tax advice.
