Overview

Nonprofit Comparables Assessor is a cloud-based compensation benchmarking tool designed for tax-exempt organizations. It draws on extensive IRS Form 990/990‑EZ/990‑PF data—alongside proxy and 10‑K for-profit figures—to generate defensible, up-to-date executive compensation benchmarks. Tailored for nonprofits seeking a “rebuttable presumption of reasonableness,” it enables users to group peers by subsector, geography, size (revenue or assets), and date, then sort results interactively and export polished reports. The platform refreshes quarterly and supports access to source documents directly from data tables.
