" Train and motivate people in all aspects of fundraising.
" Create fundraising plans and help implement and evaluate those plans.
" Research prospective donors and write proposals if needed.
" Set up a data base for keeping track of donor information.
" Conduct feasibility studies.
" Conduct direct mail campaigns.
" Help board members understand their responsibilities, and help organizations recruit and train good board members.
" Study and recommend structural changes in an organization to improve functioning and fundraising efficiency.
" Help hire fundraising staff.
" Set up any other fundraising strategy that an organization has decided to use.
" Manage mailing lists and donor information.
