I worked for a non-profit company for 7 years; they never pay as well as a for-profit company. If you don't get some emotional value by working for a non-profit, i.e., feeling you are contributing something positive to society by working for a lower salary, then my best advice is for you to look for a new job for a new company. The nature of your company is to be tight-fisted with their funds; the only way you will get a raise from them to is find a new job and let them know you will consider staying for a better salary. But be prepared to change jobs, they may be honestly paying you all they can afford to pay.

If you make 12.50 an hour for a non-profit organization, I would think that's quite amazing. Where I live almost no one makes that kind of a wage! I make ten something an hour and that's at least four dollars above the average. Is it really something to complain about?

non profit organization says a lot. But that also goes a long way on the resume for a different career hang in there a while if you can since you young some day that will pay off dont worry

I will assume that you are in the U.S., we have a free market economy that allows free movement of labor from one employer to another.
My suggestion is get that resume out and do some job hunting. If you get an offer higher than your current one, then there you have it, the market has spoken and you are now making more money.
P.S. remember your pay is ultimately in your own hands, either through additional education, additional hours, or a new job.
