Frequently Asked Questions

• Fundraising is an ongoing need for my organization.  Why should I hire a consultant instead of a full-time staff member?

      While there are many benefits to hiring a full-time development person, it is often an expensive decision.  According to         data from Professionals for Nonprofits' 2010 Salary Survey, the average salary range for a development director is                 $70,000-$80,000 per year.  For many nonprofits in this economy, hiring a full-time development director is simply not         an option.  Hiring an experienced consultant like Tamar is the best way to bring cutting-edge fundraising expertise into         your organization without having to support the long-term costs associated with a full-time employee.

• My organization is really small.  What options does Tamar provide for companies with a limited budget?

      Tamar is able to work with any organization to not only meet its needs, but to do so within budget.  For example, she         can work with your organization to create fundraising (e.g., proposals, letter of inquiry) and marketing templates (e.g.,         fact sheets, website copy) that can then be modified by your staff, as needed.  Interested in building the expertise of             your staff?  Tamar is also available to provide onsite training on the art of writing an award-winning grant proposal.
