Howard Lake | 10 April 2002 | News
Recruitment consultantants the Kage Partnership have published their fundraising salary survey which is based on the fundraising vacancy details of over 150 charities which have used their services in the year to January 2002.
The figures, which relate only to jobs based in London, show an average salary increase of just over 3% over last year’s figure. Direct marketing fundraisers achieved the biggest increase of around 5% at both manager and officer/executive level.
