Fundraising recruitment specialists, the Kage Partnership, are marking their fifth
anniversary this month with the publication of their latest annual salary survey.

Kage Partnership’s survey is good news for trust fundraisers since it confirms that
they are continuing to command salaries equal to their corporate fundraising colleagues.
There is still a shortage of experienced job applicants in this area. There have
not been enough new entrants coming into trust fundraising in recent years, partly
due to the lack of training opportunities and partly due to the relatively low profile
of this type of work.

“Junior fundraising applicants come to us wanting to get into events or corporate
fundraising and tend to be completely unaware of trusts roles,” say Kage.

The company suggests that there may be a shift in the fundraising job market this
year with the falling returns on investments and the reduction in funds available
from trusts and foundations. “Cautious budgeting in the charity sector and shrinking
job opportunities in the commercial sector are beginning to change the emphasis 
away from what has been an applicants’ market for some time now,” comments the company.“
However, there is no doubt that experienced fundraisers with a proven track record
are still highly sought after.”
