About Development Careers in the Nonprofit Sector

Development offers one of the clearest advancement paths in nonprofit work: coordinators become managers, managers become directors, and strong fundraisers are recruited aggressively. Compensation tends to run above other nonprofit functions at comparable seniority because results are measurable.

The work rewards writers, relationship-builders, and organizers alike — grants, major gifts, and events are distinct specialties, and Southern California’s deep philanthropic community supports all three.
