The Kage Partnership Fundraising Salary Survey 2013 reports that fundraisers' salaries mostly stayed static during 2012.

The findings are based on data from 360 fundraising vacancies, from 120 charities, that were published from January to December 2012.

The only exceptions to the static levels were at manager level in corporate and direct marketing, with average increases of 7% and 4% respectively. However, Kage point out that on the corporate manager side at least, "this could be due to one or two larger charities advertising very senior posts".

Trends

Kage reported that there were still few few junior roles advertised, presumably due to the prevalence of internships.
 
Corporate fundraising still shows considerable demand: there were almost double the number of corporate fundraising jobs than the next highest category.
 
While there was an 8% increase in the number of jobs during the year, there was a noticeable decrease in numbers during the summer.
 
Kage Partnership point out that "the results are intended as a general guide and are based on advertised rather than actual salaries". They also emphasis that salaries include London weighting.
