The Institute of Fundraising does not give advice about specific cases relating to payment of fundraisers.
Conditions of employment vary from organisation to organisation. Salaries depend on a variety of factors including the type of fundraising practised, for example, some fundraisers use a variety of techniques and plan for short, medium and long term income generation, whereas others are specialist by nature.
Other factors could include region, type of charity, method of payment and level of responsibility.
To gain a better understanding of appropriate salary levels, it is worth reviewing adverts for similar posts in the sector press. Visit our Recruiting a Fundraiser section and also take a look at the local papers.
