Are fundraisers set up for failure?
The Nonprofit Hive
Thrive in the Hive - Your Home for Connected, Impact-Driven Changemakers

BUT, it feels like lately the job of Fundraiser has become a catch all job posting for everything in a nonprofit. Post-COVID the number of roles has shrunk. And now a single job posting apparently covers what 2 or 3 previous fundraisers would have done.
So this begs the question: "Are we setting our fundraisers up for failure?"

Am I just not using it right or am I missing something? There is so much buzz it is hard to grab a footing."

3 周Interesting. I wrote a similar article recently because I've noticed the same trend for both fundraising and marketing. This is very detrimental and will cause even more burn out for nonprofit employees and ultimately, make them less effective.
