Nonprofits

Fair pay that honors
your mission and your people.

Moore Cooperative helps nonprofit organizations build equitable compensation structures, meet donor and board expectations, and care for the teams that carry out the work.

Why Nonprofits Choose Us

Nonprofit leaders balance a difficult equation every day: compete for talent against better-funded employers, honor donor and grant restrictions, satisfy board and audit-committee scrutiny, and stay true to a mission that put people-first values on the table long before it was fashionable.

Backed by our homegrown PayEquity.ai platform, our team delivers pragmatic, methodology-forward compensation and workforce analytics right-sized for nonprofit budgets and reporting requirements.

Capabilities

Right-sized for nonprofit realities.

Pay Equity Analysis

Regression and cohort analyses that surface unexplained pay gaps and produce documented, board-ready findings – without overwhelming small HR teams or burning through restricted funds.

Compensation Structures

Job architecture, salary bands, and market benchmarking calibrated to nonprofit market data – including 990 disclosures, sector surveys, and geographic cost realities.

Executive & Board Support

Independent, defensible support for executive compensation decisions, rebuttable presumption reviews, and 990 disclosure preparation aligned with IRS intermediate sanctions guidance.

Transparency & Compliance

Practical guidance for the growing patchwork of state and municipal pay transparency laws, with policies your team can actually maintain.

Workforce Analytics

Turnover, hiring, and engagement diagnostics that help you retain program staff, plan for succession, and make the case for people investments to funders.

Responsible AI

Our approach is grounded in our Responsible AI principles: transparent methods, human review, and clear documentation your board and auditors can follow.

How We Work

Mission-aware. Board-ready. Cost-conscious.

We scope engagements to fit your budget and your calendar. Whether you need a focused pay equity check before a board meeting or a multi-year compensation strategy refresh, we start with what your organization actually needs – not a fixed template.

Every finding is documented, reproducible, and explainable in plain language – ready for your finance committee, your auditors, and your funders.

Because nonprofit HR teams often run lean, we design deliverables your staff can actually maintain long after our engagement wraps.

AI is optional. If your board, funders, or team prefer a fully human-led engagement, we run the analysis the same way – rigorous, documented, and reproducible – with or without AI in the loop.

Change management is central to every engagement. New pay bands, transparency policies, or compensation philosophies only take root when staff, managers, and boards understand them. We invest in communication planning, training, and stakeholder engagement so the improvements are adopted — and outlast the project.
