Strategic Compensation Solutions for Lasting Impact

Organizations with transparent and fair compensation practices see lower turnover rates, increased employee engagement, stronger team dynamics, and better overall performance. Fair pay is a business imperative for organizations striving to achieve social impact and amplify their mission.

Customize your pay strategies to align with your organization’s goals and values, ensuring competitive, equitable, and motivating compensation packages for your people.

Compensation Design

A thoughtful approach to compensation is essential for attracting and retaining the talent your organization needs to achieve its mission—but mission-driven organizations face distinct equity, budget, and culture challenges that require a partner with deep sector expertise. Edgility offers equity-centered compensation strategy and design services tailored to your goals, budget, and community. We analyze market and internal pay data, surface and address pay gaps, and help you build a clear compensation philosophy that supports legal compliance and values alignment. Our team works alongside yours to design transparent, motivating pay practices that strengthen trust and help you build and keep an engaged, impact-focused team.

Executive Compensation

Creating sustained impact starts with recruiting and retaining exceptional executive leaders—and that requires executive compensation decisions that are competitive, equitable, and defensible. Edgility Talent Partners’ Executive Compensation consultants partner with Boards and key decision-makers to design customized, values-aligned executive compensation structures informed by market data, regulatory requirements, and your organization’s priorities. With unbiased, third-party guidance, we help you benchmark against peers, structure short- and long-term incentives, and communicate decisions in ways that foster trust, transparency, and long-term leadership stability.

Compensation Audit Service

A compensation audit is a powerful tool for seeing where your pay practices are truly aligned with your values and where gaps, inconsistencies, or risks may be hiding. Edgility Talent Partners’ equity-centered compensation audits use rigorous data analysis to surface pay disparities, assess market competitiveness, and identify compliance and governance concerns across roles and demographics. We translate the findings into clear, actionable recommendations so you can close wage gaps, strengthen transparency, and build a compensation system that feels fair to staff and is defensible to boards, funders, and regulators.

Omar Carrera

CEO

Allison and Carrie were exceptional thought partners throughout the process. They brought a wealth of wisdom and experience to the table, yet remained flexible in adapting their approach to align with our specific organizational reality and culture.

Danielle Pointdujour

Human Resources Officer, Urgent Action Fund

Our work often requires rapid responses due to the nature of helping activists who are at risk. We’re grateful to Edgility for helping us slow down and take a step back to assess the health of our organization from a salary, equity, and performance perspective. It’s important that we reward our employees for their brave work. We look forward to continuing to partner with Edgility to develop and improve our internal systems.

Willa Marth

Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Planned Parenthood of Southern New England

While Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) has worked to increase racial equity internally and externally, the racial reckoning of 2020 illuminated the need to ask ourselves what more we can do. With Edgility's methodology, we had clear data points and recommendations to create a plan internally to address any wage gaps and further our commitment to racial equity.

Sonia Dominguez

Chief Operating Officer, AVANCE

Marissa was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the engagement. She demonstrated exceptional expertise, is a great presenter who communicated complex ideas clearly, and maintained a direct and responsive approach that made collaboration seamless. Their professionalism and ability to address our needs promptly contributed significantly to the success of the project.

Erica Kashiri

Chief Operating Officer, Third Plateau

Marissa was easily one of the top 3 partners I have ever worked with my entire career. She knows her stuff, is thoughtful, holds the line when the line needs to be held, and kept us on a great timeline. She is able to break down complex information that was WELL received to a very skeptical team of using benchmarking data. Plus, she just came off as a generally good human which I deeply value these days.

Deena Mangrum

Treating people equitably is core to who we are and why we exist. The tremendous insights we gained from our work with Edgility have strengthened our organization so we can continue to move the needle for even more marginalized children in the Los Angeles area.

The Edgility Talent Partners team was very personable, professional, and direct. They listened to our needs and made adjustments when the direction of the project needed to change slightly. Our team truly enjoyed working with them. I would highly recommend them.
