What is a Benchmark Summary?
You pick the organizations to compare against by sector, budget size and geography, then pick the role. PeerSet finds the nonprofits whose Form 990 filings match and shows what they report paying for that role, with the percentiles, the distribution and the trend.
The Benchmark Summary is the PDF of a peer set’s percentiles, with the criteria behind them, the full methodology and, for a peer set of 50 or fewer, every organization in it.
