Souring on Charity?

03/27/2007

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
Dalai Lama

"A new survey of young nonprofit workers shows that long hours and low pay are a key reason that few of them expect to stay in the charity world throughout their careers — and even fewer desire to become top leaders of nonprofit organizations."

This was an observation by Caroline Preston of the Chronicle of Philanthropy as quoted in the New York Times (March 18, 2007). She continued...

"In addition, charity workers said that factors like low pay are driving men and minority groups out of the field in disproportionate numbers, contributing to a lack of diversity within the profession. Moreover, charities tend to pay women lower salaries for the same work."
