Challenges in Nonprofit Hiring
Nonprofits face significant challenges in hiring due to low wages and rising living costs, with reports indicating an 18% increase in expenses over recent years. Many talented fundraisers are leaving the sector because their salaries do not align with their financial needs or market rates. This trend has worsened post-COVID as remote work options have expanded, allowing fundraisers to seek better-paying positions without geographical constraints. Consequently, organizations that fail to adapt to this new landscape struggle to fill essential roles, leading to high turnover rates.
