Charles Jensen, an arts administrator in Phoenix, has an idea to help mitigate the pay gap between the nonprofit and corporate worlds.
Writing in response to a Chronicle article on pay at charities, Mr. Jensen says on his blog, Kinemapoetics,: “I feel like if organizations won’t pay their employees a competitive salary, then they are obligated to recognize the deficit between the for-profit and non-profit industry salaries as actual in-kind financial donations that employees can then write off their taxes.”
What do you think of the idea?
