At Altrui, we focus on working with clients in the nonprofit fundraising aspect, working on building relationships with donors while increasing their fundraising. Working in this arena we are often asked to support a job search for a new member of the fundraising team.

This is becoming more common as nonprofits continually work to keep their fundraising team at an impactful level.

It’s not easy. Daily, I receive a note from another nonprofit or recruiter seeking to fill a Chief Devevlopment, Director of Development and/or Major GIfts position. Many of these are nonprofits whose missions I love, who just can’t seem to get people to apply for a position, let alone get to the point where they have a new employee starting with them.

I’m curently working with a client on a Director of Development posiiton. Great client. Incredible mission. Life-changing impact.

I’ve looked at a few resumes that have come in. One is a good fit, on paper. No response from two emails and a phone call.

The salary is posted. The nonprofit has a great reputation. The work location is flexible, with some time in office and some time work from home, all being up to the individual. Good benefit…
