Integrating Your Fundraising Efforts

Many of my clients have one-person development offices. If they are lucky, that means that there is a development director and maybe a (often part-time) assistant. If they are not, that means that the CEO is also the development director. Lucky or unlucky, this means that the one person is responsible for it all — from grant writing, managing special fundraising events, annual giving, major gifts and anything else that comes up.

In reality, what that means usually is that at best one thing is done pretty well and the rest … well, the rest.
