Kage report 30% increase in fundraising salaries over past 10 years
Howard Lake | 4 January 2008 | News
Fundraisers’ salaries rose by an average of 4% during 2007, according to the latest annual Fundraising Salary Survey by fundraising recruitment specialist The Kage Partnership. The largest increases were enjoyed by direct marketers.
It was direct marketers and, for the first time in years, corporate fundraisers who were in shortest supply. This might be because, according to the report, the flow of good quality commercial candidates to the charity sector has “diminished markedly this year”.
This year, trust fundraisers have been difficult to retain: more of them have moved jobs than in previous years.
The report is based on advertised salaries for fundraising vacancies from over 150 charities.
To celebrate their tenth anniversary, Kage Partnership has taken the opportunity to track changes in salaries since Evelyn Kirby and Liz Grimes set it up. Over the last 10 years, fundraisers’ salaries have risen by an average of 30%, with the largest increase (39%) in the ‘manager’ category.
