6 Statistics on Executive Benefits and Perquisites at Non-Profits in 2012

The most prevalent component of compensation plans for tax-exempt organization executives last year was employer-paid, nonqualified retirement plans — or plans that do not qualify for federal tax advantages.

The data comes from Mercer's "2012/2013 Executive Benefit and Perquisite Practices Survey for Tax-Exempt Organizations." Here are six of the main statistics from the survey, which fielded responses from 460 tax-exempt organizations.

•    Roughly 58 percent of non-profit organizations offer their CEOs an employer-paid, nonqualified retirement plan, an increase from two years ago.

•    Roughly two thirds, or 67 percent, of healthcare organizations provided employer-paid, nonqualified retirement plans to their CEOs.

•    Supplemental executive retirement plans, a type of nonqualified retirement plan, were offered to CEOs at 37 percent of tax-exempt organizations last year.

•    According to the survey, 40 percent of organizations offered supplemental, employer-paid life insurance for executives, with the median total coverage equaling three times their base salaries.

•    The most common perquisite for executives is a car or car allowance, which 44 percent of organizations provided last year. About 17 percent of tax-exempt institutions offered country club dues.
