In compensating employees, pfund will consider the following: 1. The employee's relevant education and experience; 2. The employee's on-the-job performance; 3. The compensation of other employees with similar qualifications; 4. The compensation paid by other organizations to employees with the same position and similar qualifications; 5. The employee's overall contribution to the organization; and 6. Pfund foundation's ability to pay. Compensation and benefit reviews happen annually. The executive director shall have sole discretion in determining employee compensation. The executive director's salary and benefits are determined by the board executive committee.”

“We launched a new quarterly educational series called Queering Philanthropy. We invite experts to talk with members of the community about the unique ways that the philanthropic sector and LGBTQ community intersect. Topics of the series have included the unique needs for LGBTQ people when making planned gifts, the disparities across race affecting the LGBTQ community and why voter engagement is so important. Additionally, we are building a cadre of local business professionals through mutually beneficial partnerships, now known as the PFund Business Advisors. This program provides quarterly in-person gatherings as well as LGBTQ and philanthropic expertise to local business leaders across sectors. The goals are to engage more community members through cross-promotion, education and visibility about LGBTQ people and issues in the upper Midwest.”
