Ten Reasons Fundraising Consultants Should Join APC

Looking for a help desk for your consulting practice? Would you love to bid on that feasibility study, but there’s too much travel? Do you wish you had colleagues to talk with about a client or your consulting practice?

If this sounds like you, it’s time to check out APC (Association for Philanthropic Counsel).

I joined APC after starting my solo consulting practice. I wanted to continue to grow in my skills and fundraising knowledge. I’d been a member of a large firm and missed being able to call on colleagues and get together for educational sessions. I needed colleagues who were willing to share and learn.

Record-Breaking Year for Charitable Fundraising

Three-quarters (75%) of surveyed charitable nonprofits reported meeting their fundraising goals for 2017, according to a new report from the Nonprofit Research Collaborative (NRC). The NRC began in 2010 and the result for 2017 is the highest percentage that have met goal. The results also showed that 63 percent raised more than in the prior year, which is an improvement over the 58 percent that saw increases in charitable gift receipts from 2015 to 2016.
