Statement of Purpose

A Gift For Teaching’s primary objective is to provide a reasonable and competitive executive compensation opportunity consistent with market-based compensation practices for individuals possessing the experience and skills needed to improve the overall performance of the organization. As such, this policy is designed to provide an overview of the procedures utilized on behalf of A Gift For Teaching in order to review executive compensation. 

General Overview

The executive committee and ultimately the board of directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining a competitive compensation package for the chief executive of the organization. 

To review fair market value, the board of directors should rely upon appropriate data as to comparability.  Such data shall include comprehensive market surveys as well as comparable salaries from similar nonprofit organizations in our area to benchmark pay. (EG: EBI Bi-Annual Compensation Survey)

After approval, the chairman of the board shall meet with the chief executive to discuss and document the goals and agreed upon compensation for the upcoming year. 

A Gift For Teaching believes education is the foundation to personal and community success.

The essence of our work is to close the opportunity and achievement gaps. We empower teachers to inspire all students to confidently assume the roles of future leaders. We are grounded by compassionate and collaborative relationships, which drive positive community transformation.

When everyone feels they belong, creativity spikes and the subsequent innovations enable boundless opportunities. Responsibility to our world builds equity, trust, and capability for all.

A Gift For Teaching cares about removing barriers to learning—whether in or out of the classroom—so that any who strive for achievement can find success.
