The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that projected job growth in the United States will increase 15 percent between 2016 and 2026 -- 7 percent higher than the average growth rate. Average salaries for those employed in fundraising are significantly higher than those in other positions within nonprofit organizations. According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics there are more than 1.5 million registered nonprofit organizations – nearly all dependent on raising contributed income through fundraising efforts. Educational institutions, health, human services, relief agencies, arts and religious organizations are all reliant on donated funds to serve their beneficiaries, therefore, knowledgeable fundraisers are needed to direct these efforts. Gear up with our graduate certificate, and embark with confidence in a career in fundraising.
