Counted October 17, 2026 · from employers’ own postings
Nonprofit & social impact: 432 open roles, 45 entry level.
Mission-driven work — programs, development, case management, advocacy and community services.
186 of these postings state no level; the entry-level count is over the ones that do, plus any that ask for a year or less and are not titled senior. Pay is the median of posted bands, in USD, only where eight or more roles posted one; 1 posted figure that could not be a year's pay was left out. Only open roles are counted.

How this was counted
Every figure here is counted from 432 open postings read from 168 employers’ own job boards on October 17, 2026, and recounted every night. Pay is the band the employer posted — never an estimate, never a model: a level shows a median only where eight or more postings carried one, and 187 of these postings did. 1 posted bands whose midpoint could not be a year's pay in US dollars were left out of every figure. Titles are grouped by the words the postings use, with levels, shifts and schedules removed, so one role is one row. The same counts as Markdown are at facts.md.
