I'm considering a degree in Nonprofit management with a fundraising certificate. I've always been fascinated with the concept of working in a non-profit, however, I don't really know what the day-to-day work load will be. Is it mostly a desk job or is it more of working with people? Is fundraising a hard job or can it be fun? Any info would help!
As a fundraiser you have limited contact with clients. You will be expected to write grants, set up fundraisers, set up fundraiser events, acknowledge donations, etc....
Why don't you volunteer for an agency for a specific campaign? That way you can see what its like start to finish. Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, JDRF, is one where you can get your feet wet!!! |
