(Arlington, Virginia) The average fundraising salary in the U.S. increased by 6.7% in 2022, according to the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy’s 2023 Compensation and Benefits Report. While this growth is significant compared to the 1.5% increase in 2021, it is still barely keeping pace with the year-end inflation rate of 6.5%.
While large donors drove marginal growth in giving dollars throughout 2021 and much of 2022, their stability has begun to erode. According to FEP’s latest quarterly data, a decrease in donors and dollars given was evident across all donor types in Q1 2023, with major donors causing an outsized decline in dollars and donor retention.
Ethics and IDEA are, at their core, all about the same thing: creating better workspaces and environments so that everyone-fundraiser, donor, board member, volunteer, nonprofit staff-feels safe, comfortable and confident when engaging in fundraising and philanthropy. And with fundraisers playing such a vital role in so many relationships, the October 2023 issue will cover what members need to understand about ethics and IDEA in protecting, maintain and advocating for those relationships.
