Initial results from a survey of Scottish fundraisers indicate that charities are
prepared to invest in targeting corporate donors. The Scottish Fundraising Salary
Survey, conducted by Bruce Tait Associates, has already found that, while most Scottish
fundraising salaries have remained more or less static, there has been a marked 
increase in amounts paid to corporate fundraisers.

The 2011 Survey, now in its third year, compared the salaries, packages and motivation
of over 120 Scottish fundraisers. The full results will be published in November,
but Managing Director Bruce Tait will present and discuss a preview of the findings
at a gathering of fundraisers and HR professionals to be held on 3 October in Stirling.

Tait said: “This year’s survey was the most extensive yet and provides a real insight
into how to recruit, train and retain Scottish fundraisers. By comparing the figures
to the previous years, we can get a real insight not only into how fundraisers work,
but also how Scottish charities are deploying their resources in response to difficult
fundraising times.

“For example, very few are reducing their fundraising operations – the vast majority
are scaling up to meet the shortfalls in funding from other areas. We’re also noticing
significantly increased salary levels being offered to corporate fundraisers, presumably
to entice people leaving the private sector”.
