They’re the ultimate testing ground for your donor stewardship tactics, as you’ll be asking for quite a lot — extra-large gifts, multi-year commitments, feasibility study interviews, and more.

If you’re a frontline fundraiser who wants to resign or has already quit, your nonprofit organization does not care about you. If it did, you either wouldn’t be thinking of leaving right now, or it would have retained you instead of losing you to greener pastures. Unfortunately, those greener pastures are an illusion. Because, on average, you are leaving for another position every 15 to 18 months in search of an even greener, more lush pasture.
