Events and Fundraising Director
Fundraising Director are the driving force behind fundraising efforts. They oversee the workforce of paid or volunteer individuals and must keep them on task. They create, teach, lead, and manage the people responsible for bringing in the donations. Without their expertise and efforts a company will not have the funds to continue with their work.
Some duties of a fundraising manager:
- develop goals and a plan for raising money
- refine that plan to adopt strategies and campaigns that reflect the ideals of the company
- identify and explore donor pools
- personally handle VIP donors
- write grant proposals and manage endowments
- plan and manage marketing efforts like direct mail campaigns
- plan fundraising events such as dinners, receptions, and parties
- develop alliances with other organizations
- work collaboratively to enhance fundraising efforts
- keep in contact with the CEO and board, apprising them of fundraising successes
The ability to be an effective fundraiser is what makes a manager successful. Having the best organizing and managing skills mean nothing if, at the end of the day, there is no money raised. Creating new and innovative plans is crucial to be successful in fundraising. Managers must also be able to adapt and change strategies to meet the needs of their donor pools and keep the donations coming.
Fundraisers need to be comfortable dealing with the public. They must enjoy public speaking, should be extroverted, and enjoy attending events and galas. Moreover, they must be able to communicate effectively and eloquently and be up to date on social, political, and newsworthy topics in order to engage in meaningful conversation with potential donors.
