In 2015, Nonprofit AF founder Vu Lee wrote the post, "when you don't disclose salary range on a job posting, a unicorn loses its wings." Today there are 10 states in the U.S. with enacted pay transparency laws. And that's a good thing! Stating a salary range not only ensures your hiring process (and thus your organization as a whole) is more equitable, but it actively combats gender, racial, and other forms of bias. 

So, you'd think the social impact sector would be all over this, right? Well, unfortunately, they are... not. Way too many organizations, educational institutions, foundations, and social enterprises are still stuck in the past and refuse to engage in pay transparency, even when leaders in our sector have been talking about it for years!

Inspired by #CrappyFundingPractices, the Home for Wingless Unicorns is a place to gather all those organizations hiring today who we hope to include salary ranges tomorrow. Please contribute if you either have a posting to share!

The Home for Wingless Unicorns is an entirely volunteer-run project. Join our squad by emailing help@winglessunicorns.org! 

What is The Home for Wingless Unicorns you ask?  It's a place for wayward nonprofits and social impact orgs who state they value equity but who don't post salary ranges on all their job postings! 😱

This:

❌ Perpetuates the Gender Wage Gap

❌ Discriminates Against People of Color

❌ Hinders Equity

Not to mention is a major time waster for folx who often don't have time to waste! Read more on our resources page, if you're not convinced yet!

Here at the home, we believe everyone can do better, and we will even help you for free! Send an email to help@winglessunicorns.org, and you'll get back a list of consultants willing to work with you FREE OF CHARGE to help you become an ALICORN! 

💸 Or, you know, just add the range and you'll be freed from our home and can fly once again!!!
