The percentage of individuals giving to nonprofits has reached its lowest point in 40 years. As a result, more and more nonprofits are depending on big gifts. That’s why it’s vital to attract and retain the fundraisers who can cultivate strong relationships with your most generous donors. In today's episode, we examine the latest findings from AFP's 2024 Compensation and Benefits Survey Report and discuss ways to keep your best fundraisers happy (beyond a competitive salary) to sustain and advance your nonprofit's mission.
