This has been a problem for a long time – Vermont nonprofits have forever been chronically underfunded and overburdened. Per Common Good Vermont’s most recent Nonprofit Wages and Benefits Survey & Report, executive directors identifying as women make up two-thirds of nonprofit leaders yet only earn, on average, 79% of what executive directors identifying as men are making. If we want a resilient, inclusive and vibrant future for our state, we must do more than just applaud their mission. We must fund their work and pay them equitably.

Since I was 15, I’ve only worked with nonprofits and have had the joy to work with so many wonderful leaders across the country, especially in Vermont. We need to step up and support them if we want our communities to thrive.

In just over two months, at least 10,000 nonprofit workers have lost their jobs, according to an estimate from the Chronicle of Philanthropy. And groups providing essential services including housing, education and domestic violence support — and who are already scrambling in an uncertain economic environment — could now face an even steeper funding drought.
