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.
