Fundraising is about more than raising money! The development team works closest with those who support the organization–they are the best ambassadors. To be successful, development professionals must be able to talk about the finances, governance, communications, and programs of an organization. They also can inform strategies in each of these areas based on experiences with external stakeholders. Their voice is critical across the board!
