How to Find and Keep a Great Fundraiser

Hire a money head
Don’t hire someone who can just write grants or someone who can just work with individual donors. Take a look at the entire financial engine of your organization, and hire someone who can develop and execute a strategy for strengthening and growing all aspects of that financial engine. If you have significant government grants or earned income, make sure you have someone on board who understands and can work with those aspects as well as the private money that flows to the organization.
