CAPS Helps Struggling Schools And Prepares Students For A Greener Future
Climate Action Pathways for Schools (CAPS) partners with under-resourced schools to lower operating costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and advance climate literacy.
CAPS uses a project-based learning program, working directly with students to prepare them for green jobs and high-skill careers. By helping students develop and execute projects that mitigate climate change, CAPS helps develop more equitable, sustainable, and resilient schools and communities.
Their impressive program provides students with the resources to reclaim their futures from the threat of climate change while also introducing them to green career opportunities through paid internships and work-based learning programs.
Check out this student-made video for a great synopses of their work and the difference it's making:
Fair Pay Without The Guesswork—Salary Surveys & Reasonable Compensation Tests
Why Salary Surveys Matter for Nonprofits and Social Enterprises
If you’re running a nonprofit, B Corp, or social impact business, you already know that your mission is everything. But here’s a hard truth: Your mission can’t thrive if your team isn’t fairly compensated. We’ve all heard the phrase, “No money, no mission.”
A salary survey helps you:
Benchmark pay and benefits against similar organizations.
Stay competitive to attract and retain top talent.
If you’re an S-corp owner, you’ve probably heard the term reasonable compensation. But what does that actually mean?
It can get complicated, but here’s the basic run-down: The IRS requires S-Corporation shareholder-employees (AKA usually the paid owners) to pay themselves a reasonable salary (that is, a W-2 salary) before taking non-wage distributions. Reasonable pay is equivalent to what similar businesses pay for similar services, considering expertise, time spent on various tasks, and company revenue.
