How much do fundraising managers make?
Filed Under fundraising
JAMES2K asked:
I am thinking about investing in a MS in Fundraising Management, but the degree is quite pricey. I would need a ball park figure on about how much either a Fundrasing Manager or a Director of Development makes in a Non-Profit organization or a hospital, school or foundation. Is it worth the investment?
Thanks.

The pay scale for Fundraising Managers vary from Organization to Organization. I did a contract coordinating the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk for the American Cancer Society and made $3k/month (6 years ago in FL). Also, worked for a Food Bank for a while and made $38k and at a hospital for $43k. In my experience, Major Gifts coordinators make more–$45k and up. Upper Management in non profits can make in the 60’s on up (Note: stay away from organizations that offer you a “cut” for your efforts–it’s considered unethical and can often create a conflict of interest).
If you go to google and type in “salary calculator,” you can usually get salary averages for your area. Best of luck in your search. Non profits don’t always pay the most, but the work can sure be rewarding.
