| How Can I Become A Non-Profit Fund-Raising Consultant?

I retired from non-profit fund-raising consulting about five years ago. The hard-earned knowledge gained over fifteen years, mostly going at it alone, and as a member of a consulting firm for several of those years---following twenty years as director of development on staff for a major orchestra---allowed me to write a guide for others thinking they would like to become fund-raising consultants.
If nothing else, my article may be timely.
I read in our local newspaper, and I know personally from other sources, that a number of organizations in my state were placing some of their development staff on “furlough.” A number of them lost their jobs permanently with development staff cutbacks. I suspect this to be an unfortunate trend, considering the current economic situation.
Those of you who serve as development staff professionals, are the lifeblood of your respective organizations. I truly hope your positions are stable and strong. However, if this is not the case, then along with your possible look to a position on staff with another non-profit, you could be thinking of a career change as a consultant. If the latter is the career path you wish to take, perhaps a reading of my guide to become a fund-raising consultant professional will be useful.
