First, the bad news.  34% of nonprofits lost fundraising staff in 2021.Fundraisers only stay on the job for an average of 16 months.85% of fundraisers expect to change jobs within the next two years - with more than one-third expecting to leave fundraising altogether.I don't find this surprising, sadly.Many of my clients are fulfilling all the non-program tasks, including:MarketingSocial MediaOutreachPublic relationsDonor relationsEventsAnd oh yes - fundraising!Usually all of this is lumped into one impossible job description - ending with the dreaded:"Other duties as assigned."Now for the good news! There is a better way to structure your development positions and to prevent fundraisers (and other staff) from jumping ship.​In this Nonprofit Nation episode, Chad Barger, CFRE of Productive Fundraising walks us through his simple but effective framework to attract and retain fundraising talent, even in a hybrid and very disrupted work environment.
