I want to get a job in Fundraising. Any suggestions on how to get started in the Non-Profit Industry? If you want a paid job you will probably need experience. I would suggest designing your own mini fundraiser for a local organization like your local Humane Society or something and that will give you some real world experience you can put on your resume and it will give you contacts and maybe jump start your career. Pick a charity you feel passionate about and wouldn't mind trying to drum up money for, if the Humane Society doesn't do it for you, choose diabetes research or your local Boys and Girls club or whatever floats your boat. Make sure you're good at sales. Getting people to give to an organization, charity or politician's campaign is about the same as selling a product. Unless you have several years of experience in sales and have thick skin to handle rejection, a job in fundraising could be a frustrating prospect. You might want to consider running a charity race night the site below has some free useful advice. http://www.globalracenight.com I have a fundraising opportunity for you. Also could turn into a fundraising career! For more info, please contact stephanie_nature@yahoo.com with "fundraiser" in the subject line and I will send you free info! ~Stephanie |
