| The Not-For-Profit Sector is made up of
a mix of organisations from small voluntary community groups, housing
associations, NHS Trusts to multinational organisations. Of the estimated
400,000 NFP organisations about 180,000 are registered charities,
the charity sector.
It is in the Charity Sector where successful fundraisers are most
sought after, in order to generate income to finance Charities services
and helping causes such as; health, education, animal welfare, children,
disabled, homelessness etc.
Fundraising demands enthusiasm, persistence and often the ability
to network, however working in the charity sector is very rewarding

Clients require candidates to be highly
motivated, passionate about working for a charity and a proven track
record in your field whether it is fundraising, marketing or communications
If you are new to the charity sector you might have relevant transferable
skills
- Sales executives with experience of marketing and business development
can cross over to Corporate Fundraising
- Research experience is relevant to Trust Fundraising where there
is a lot of researching of suitable Trust grants and writing applications
