What would it take?
What would it take to hire your next rockstar fundraiser? More money, better candidates, an in-house HR Director, do you even know?
I get it, hiring right now is tough. Especially for fundraisers! The average turnover rate for a Development Director is 16-18 months with more and more leaving the sector altogether.
Not everyone loves hiring, and those who do probably don’t know much about fundraising, but I do! I know both and I can help you.
Locating, evaluating and hiring exceptional development staff takes time, planning and resources which most nonprofits don’t have time to do. By staying active in the nonprofit fundraising community we can connect our clients with the best talent.

"Working with Brittny has helped build my confidence in talking to donors about money. I used to be embarrassed to ask for what our organization needs financially, but now I see those conversations as empowering others to find accessible ways to use their resources for building good in our community. In the last year alone, our organization has doubled its donor base and we are confident in our financial goals moving forward.”
- Kristen Baltrum, Executive Director, Annie & Millie’s Place
“I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you. The fundraising presentation that you shared with our board was fantastic, and I feel like it really resonated with everyone in a way that I would not have been able to get across by just sharing what I've learned. I really appreciate you taking the time to talk with us, and I'm really excited about our next board meeting.”
-Anna Kim, Executive Director, NAMI Boulder County
“Brittny has been an excellent coach these past couple of months as the organization I work with has gone through a steady stream of transitions. She has offered customized feedback and ideas specific to the needs and capacity of the organization. Brittny’s coaching has allowed me to become a stronger fundraiser; I am bolder, more leadership-oriented, and have a deeper understanding of fundraising best practices. Brittny coached me through two events, and her guidance led to an increase in attendance and engagement. I’m incredibly grateful for Brittny’s help and will continue to seek her support as my career grows!”
-Kaleigh Radebaugh, Development Professional
“Brittny Wilson is a supportive, warm, and authentic coach and mentor – I cannot recommend working with her enough! Not only does she share really thoughtful feedback built on years of experience, but she has done wonders to help grow my confidence as a fundraiser. Being relatively new to the fundraising world myself, Brittny’s coaching – from walking through difficult scenarios together to roleplaying intimidating conversations to being an enthusiastic cheerleader alongside me – has made me feel supported and ready to take on the challenges that come with major gift fundraising. Working with Brittny feels like catching up with a friend. I am so grateful for her support and know that she will continue to impact so many fundraisers and organizations working to make our community better.”
