OFN’s CDFI Loan Fund Compensation & Benefits Survey, conducted by Quatt

Quatt periodically partners with the Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) to conduct a compensation and benefits survey of its community development financial institution (CDFI) members.

The most recent version, which had over 140 CDFIs participate from across the country, reports on 2021 base salary, target and actual incentive, and total cash at various percentiles for 21 executive and staff positions. In addition, we report total remuneration (total cash plus all non-cash compensation) for the CEO position, with a breakout of health and welfare benefits, qualified retirement, deferred compensation, and perquisites costs. Compensation data is reported in aggregate for all participants, as well by cuts by organization asset size, number of employees, headquarters location, and service area.
