There is a high level of turnover in the fundraising profession. You’ve probably heard that the average tenure of a fundraiser is 16 to 18 months. If you are looking for a new development position, that’s good news and bad news. The good news is opportunities abound. Many non-profits are trying to fill open positions right now. The bad news is not only do you have a lot of competition, but the high turnover rate also suggests a troubling underlying problem—a disconnect between the expectations of organizations and the fundraisers they hire.

In our work providing fundraising counsel to hundreds of non-profits over the years, we have experienced our share of development teams in action. We recognize factors that contribute to a good hire and subsequently the success of the development team. As trusted advisors, our clients often ask us to draw upon our experience and networks to conduct executive searches on their behalf. Onboarding new development team leaders and members who can meet and exceed fundraising goals has become an important way we help our clients advance their missions.


The purpose of this workshop is to share what we have learned and the experiences we have gained along the way. Special guests will join us as we discuss how to explore and evaluate career opportunities, utilize your professional network, standout in the application process, and make a great impression. If you are ready to make a change, we invite you to join us. We want to contribute to the success of your next career move.
