Social Impact Staff Retention Project
TAKE THE 2026 SURVEY NOW
The Social Impact Staff Retention (SISR) project first gathered responses in fall 2023 and released its findings in 2024. Each year since, the anonymous online survey has uplifted the voices of nonprofit professionals throughout the United States. Nonprofit CEOs, fundraisers, IT staff, marketers, and others share whether they’re considering a job change, why, and whether they plan to stay in the sector or move on.
