Benefits of hiring a fundraiser consultant:
Hiring a fundraising consulting firm has several benefits, but cost savings and superior resource management stand out. Grant Development Services offers specialized fundraising services at a cost that is around 30% cheaper than sustaining an employee's salary, overhead, and benefits.
Beyond the immediate cost, an internal individual fundraiser still only involves one person. By utilizing the knowledge and expertise of a whole department of specialists, working with a consulting firm increases your fundraising advantage.
More importantly, the majority of entry-level development employees work there for an average of 18 months or less. As a result, it becomes more expensive for a non-profit to continuously hire, develop, and retain qualified development workers. Offering clients full-service consultancy reduces these issues.
