About

Fundraising managers oversee the workforce of paid or volunteer individuals and must keep them on task. They create, teach, lead, and manage the people responsible for bringing in the donations. They are the driving force behind fundraising efforts. Without their expertise and efforts a company would not have the funds to continue with their work. The ability to be an effective fundraiser is what makes a fundraising manager successful. Having the best organizing and managing skills mean nothing if, at the end of the day, there is no money raised.
