Fundraisers’ Pay Didn’t Keep Up With Inflation Last Year - News - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas

Fundraisers’ Pay Didn’t Keep Up With Inflation Last Year - News - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: bout 43 percent of fundraisers said they had looked for a new job in the past year, up slightly from 41 percent in 2010 and 37 percent in 2009. Many more fundraisers are thinking about doing so—a total of about six in 10, the survey found—and they said the search for a higher salary was the No. 1 reason.

Fundraisers earned a median of $66,000 in 2011, meaning that half earned more and half less, edging up only slightly from the $65,000 median salary of 2010.

The survey was based on data from more than 2,700 fundraisers provided to the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Nearly 80 percent were women and slightly less than 4 percent were minorities.
