Fundraising managers enjoyed a slightly larger salary increase compared to the average, with Trust Fundraising Managers and Events Managers faring best. In contrast, corporate fundraising salaries have “reach[ed] a plateau”. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert. You create the campaign. We'll handle the postal journey.

Kage have noted an increase in the number of job seekers relative to the number of vacancies, and a better supply of strong candidates, with a growing number of commercial sector candidates wanting to make the move to the not-for-profit sector. However, there is still a skills shortage in some areas, particularly Direct Marketing and Major Donor fundraising. www.kagep.com * **[6 million people skive in the snow](https://fundraising.co.uk/2009/02/03/6-million-people-skive-snow/)**( 3 February 2009) * **[Martin Luther King says it better than I can…](https://fundraising.co.uk/2009/02/04/martin-luther-king-says-it-better-i-can/)**( 4 February 2009) * **[New Director of Relationships and Marketing at Diabetes UK](https://fundraising.co.uk/2009/02/13/new-director-relationships-and-marketing-diabetes-uk/)**( 13 February 2009)
