A recent study by United for ALICE has uncovered a concerning trend in the nonprofit sector. Despite their crucial role in supporting our communities, many nonprofit employees are struggling financially themselves. Key findings: ? Nearly 25% of US nonprofit workers live just above the federal poverty line ? 3 million nonprofit employees fall into the ALICE category (Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed) ? 37% of nonprofit workers under 25 are considered ALICE ? Over 50% of single parents in nonprofits live below the ALICE threshold This data highlights a critical issue: those dedicated to helping others often need help themselves. It's time we address this paradox and ensure fair compensation for those who fill gaps in our social safety net. What are your thoughts on supporting nonprofit workers? How can we create a more sustainable model for those who dedicate their lives to serving others? #NonprofitSector #WorkerWellbeing #SocialImpact #EconomicJustice

As a society, we rely heavily on the nonprofit sector to address critical social issues. It's time we ensure that those doing this vital work can thrive, not merely survive while sacrificing their own financial stability. These findings underscore the need for systemic changes in how we value and compensate mission-driven work. By highlighting these disparities, this report takes an important step towards recognizing and addressing this pressing challenge.

In a time when #DEI initiatives are under attack—even at the highest levels of government—resistance matters. Social justice organizations should be at the forefront of that resistance, setting the standard for equity and inclusion, not falling short. When nonprofits fail to uphold equitable practices in their own hiring, it sends a troubling message: the fight for justice stops at their doorstep. WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU ?? : Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem Foundation Middle East Institute Florida Justice Institute (FJI) Americans for Immigrant Justice Americares StepUp Wilmington Global Health Ministries Take the Florida Justice Institute, for example. Their job posting for an Individual Cases Staff Attorney says: “Must have a demonstrated commitment to social justice, as well as a commitment to representing incarcerated people and other disenfranchised individuals, and an interest in the preservation and advancement of civil liberties and civil rights.” AND “Must understand and value racial equity and be committed to continued learning on issues related to race, equity, diversity, and inclusion.” SUCH powerful words, right? But then... no salary listed. ?? Let’s be clear: wage transparency is essential. Keeping salaries secret disproportionately harms women and people of color and undermines the very equity these organizations claim to champion. Transparency in compensation isn’t just a good look; it’s a moral imperative. Social justice organizations need to do better. You can’t fight for justice out in the world while perpetuating inequities in your own practices. Let’s keep pushing for change until they all get their wings. ??? P.S. If you spot a job posting without a salary range, help us hold them accountable—submit it to our Call-In Form at https://lnkd.in/ejveX8-Z

Worker Organizing! If we cannot change the workplace, we cannot change our communities. Support unions and practice solidarity. "Of all nonprofit workers, 5% were below the official U.S. poverty level, and another 17% — more than three times as many — were?ALICE?, or?Asset?Limited,?Income?Constrained,?Employed. ALICE nonprofit employees live in households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than what it costs to survive in the counties where they live. They can’t afford the basics: housing, child care, food, transportation, health care, technology, and taxes." https://lnkd.in/gApTYpx9
