Update! The employer wants to set up a call about my "questions" and where they are in the interview process. What should I say to let them know that I am yet interested in the job and to reduce the damage I've done going forward/redeem myself? [/quote]

Don't bring up salary further for now unless they do. Focus instead on your interest not just in the job, but in the organization and its mission. Nonprofits know they can't pay as well and for-profit, so they're looking for people who have an interest in the purpose of the organization so that the satisfaction they get from being part of it will make up for the lower salary.

To prepare for salary discussion, make sure you have a sound basis for your salary expectations, not just what you'd like to make, or what your friend who's been doing HR for almost ten years makes at a big for-profit corporation. Be candid in your responses, but realistic. They've given you a salary range, and maybe they have a little wiggle room above that but it may not be much. Think about other forms of compensation you'd be willing to take instead, such as more vacation time. Another possibility, if there's a gap between what they're willing to pay and what you'd like to make, is to ask for a salary review in six months, once they've seen how you perform and what you have to offer.[/quote]
