In early 2024, VAFRE partnered with Warner & Associates Consulting to conduct a compensation survey to help Empower our members  and those recruiting for development professionals across our sector with information about equitable pay, scope of role expectations, applicable competencies, and necessary infrastructural resources.

A link was sent to approximately 1,427 development professionals across the Commonwealth, including all VAFRE members, AFP Chapters and other individuals. A return rate of approximately 17% was received, with 238 participants.

A program discussing the results of the survey, along with a nonprofit compensation survey conducted by Warren Whitney, was held on September 10th at the Virginia War Memorial, Nonprofit Development Compensation: Insights from the Latest Surveys.
