Make Fundraising Your Career
http://web.archive.org/web/20011218063925/
http://www.chardonpress.com/titles/feature17_1.html
What would you say if you could have a career that paid you a salary from $10,000-$150,000? Gave you work with fairly measurable outcomes? Where talking about your values and writing about what you believe is part of the job? Where all the people you work with agree that what you do is really important? Sounds like a great career, doesn't it? It is: it's a career in fundraising.
