Why Fundraising Professionals Quit
|
|
Talented people are essential to assuring success in fundraising. Nothing tops talent. Your fundraising professional is one of your nonprofit organization's most valuable assets. For too many nonprofits in Southwest Florida however, fundraising professionals change jobs like babies change diapers. The turnover of fundraising staff has become an epidemic.
The Cape Foundation recently surveyed leaders of nonprofit organizations. Out of the 100 surveyed, 91% reported that turnover of fundraising staff is one of the biggest problems their organizations face.
Turnover is much costlier than most people recognize. The loss of fundraising talent places a tremendous burden on the organization. When a fundraising professional quits, it's like starting all over again. This hurts the stability and credibility of the organization.
3 MAJOR REASONS FUNDRAISERS QUIT
- Little or no support from CEO or Board of Directors
- Burnout due to pressure to raise funds quickly and often
- Better-paying opportunity and not feeling valued
6 SOLUTIONS TO FIX THE PROBLEM
- Recruit board members who can help with fundraising
- Pay people what they are worth
- Set realistic fundraising expectations
- Hire the person who fits your culture, mission & values
- Invest in staff development, training and education
- Encourage fundraising personnel to collaborate more
