AFP's annual leadership and nonprofit management conference, AFP LEAD, returns bigger and better than ever this October 19-21 in Philadelphia, PA!
(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.
Executive-level nonprofit fundraising leaders are invited to participate in AFP CATALYST - The Sector Leadership Forum October 22-23, following AFP LEAD 2023 in Philadelphia.
This event will provide professional development, networking, and relationship building opportunities for advanced-career fundraising professionals who have been in the profession 15+ years.
