The Fundraising Talent Podcast
Business:Non-Profit
This is the first special Sunday installment of The Fundraising Talent Podcast where we talk to someone who isn’t a frontline fundraiser but rather someone who is actively identifying fundraising talent for his clients. Jonathan McIntosh is a Nonprofit Development Recruiter at ThinkingAhead Executive Search in Nashville. Jonathan agreed to share with me some perspective of what it looks like to identify fundraising talent in today’s competitive market.
Jonathan shared his insights into the organization’s readiness for fundraising talent and the recognition that, at a minimum, some organizations may need to mature their understanding of fundraising operation before they hire an experienced fundraiser. I also appreciated Jonathan’s characterization of meaningful engagement that reveals a creativity of approach, an ability to push through resistance, and a willingness to make sure the timing is right for the donor’s gift.
