Fundraising Consultant

A fundraising consultant works on a case-by-case, often temporary basis to provide counsel to various nonprofit organizations. Some of the duties performed by a fundraising consultant include in-depth research, studies, reports, planning of fundraising events, counsel and advice, and much more. Fundraising consultants can charge by the hour, or by the project.

Nonprofit Director

As a director of a nonprofit organization, you're the person responsible for hiring and training staff, implementing new projects, working with volunteers, planning fundraisers, and so much more. How much you can expect to make will depend on your level of education and experience, your location, and the particular nonprofit that you're working with.

Research Analyst

This position is one of the fundraising jobs that requires an education and some experience. As a research analyst for a nonprofit organization, it will be your job to conduct detailed research and prepare various reports regarding fundraisers and fundraising efforts. You may work in an office environment along with other staff members. Research analysts are essential to helping nonprofit organizations run as efficiently as possible.

Fundraising Telemarketer

As a fundraising telemarketer, it is your job to solicit donations over the telephone. Often you will be given a list of past and potential donors to contact and a script to read. This kind of job is perfect for anyone seeking an entry level job in fundraising or a way to make some extra money. Sure, telemarketers may not be the world's most popular group, but at least you're calling for a good cause!

These choices represent just a few of the fundraising jobs available today. As you can see, some jobs require extensive education and experience, while others are entry level. No matter what your level of education and experience, there's a job out there to suit you. With a little research and hard work, you can find the perfect career in the field of philanthropy!
