Let me guess. Right now, you’re looking for your next developmental director.
It’s pretty crazy. And I admit, it’s the most difficult hire for an organization. The worst-case scenario would be ending up with the wrong person on the bus. And we don’t want that, right?
But today, let’s make it a little bit easier as I share the things you need to watch out for in your next fundraiser so your organization can hit revenue goals!
Tune in to The Business Behind Fundraising — What You Need to Know Before You Hire Your Next Fundraiser with Sherry Quam Taylor.
What You Will Discover:
✔️ Rethink the qualifications. Once you look deeper into your current challenges and your true need, you’ll determine what your future director should be able to do and what skills they should have.
✔️ Knowing the path to get fully financed is a must. Your future developmental director should know how to plan your year around your organization’s cash flow and be able to secure unrestricted funds for full flexibility. We don’t want to depend on grants and events all the time.
✔️ Look for a proven track record. COVID-19 has taken a toll on nonprofits. See if your potential hire has experience in securing 50-75% of revenue from top donors.
✔️ Fix root problems to ensure success. Your director can’t work their best if the groundwork isn’t established, such as your donor fully knowing your need, what you do, and the problem you’re solving. Get rid of what’s blocking revenue generation.
