“Raising money… is virtually a US monopoly”

“Raising money… is virtually a US monopoly”, says Richard Reeves in The Observer today, claiming that Americans are better suited to fundraising, among other jobs, “simply because the US is further ahead.”




This claim is somewhat controversial, but he is right that “money-getters from across the pond are in huge demand.” He quotes Alice Gosling, an American-born fundraiser at Lincoln College, Oxford: “in the US, colleges have been aggressively fundraising for 25 years. Here, development is fairly new in lots of areas – higher education, museums, the ballet. The industry is simply more developed in the US.”
