Non-profits understand the importance of retaining donors, yet often overlook the same principle when managing fundraising staff. With experienced fundraisers leaving organisations at an unsustainable rate, this session applies established donor-retention thinking to attracting, developing and keeping great people.

Through practical examples and case studies, attendees will explore purpose-led recruitment, effective onboarding, development planning, regular feedback and appropriate investment in staff. The session provides useful checklists and strategies to help organisations strengthen employee retention, build more supportive workplaces and protect one of their most valuable assets: their fundraising teams.
