Salaries in nonprofit work are typically lower than those paid for comparable work in the for-profit sector. In addition, salaries in the nonprofit sector vary tremendously depending on the size, location, and purpose of the organization. Large, high-profile nonprofits with specialized staff and budgets in the millions of dollars, for example, may pay directors well over $100,000, but six-figure salaries are still the exception in this field. According to Salary.com, the median annual income in 2016 for social service directors was $109,464. The lowest paid directors earned $93,955 and highest paid directors earned $126,844 or more.
