Pasadena, CA — EmploymentCrossing (www.employmentcrossing.com) on Monday launched FundraisingCrossing (www.fundraisingcrossing.com), a job-opening research site that seeks to consolidate every single job in the fundraising industry. FundraisingCrossing gathers and lists every single job it can find from employer websites, association websites, and other job boards. By providing job seekers a “one-stop shop” for fundraising jobs, FundraisingCrossing can save job seekers hundreds of hours of unnecessary research by showing them every fundraising job in the market at once.
According to the Association of Fundraising Professionals, the average salary for charitable fundraisers in the United States increased to $72,683 in 2007 and 2008. A fundraising career can be lucrative, and fundraising job openings are multiplying. FundraisingCrossing offers an exclusive online service that finds fundraising job announcements for opportunities ranging from nonprofit fundraising jobs to hospital fundraising jobs. The site checks local and regional publications as well, aiming to show its members jobs no one else knows about.
“In this market it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies,” says Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of FundraisingCrossing. “Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.”
Despite the recession, various charitable organizations are planning to increase their giving in 2008. According to a survey by the Foundation Center, 54% of charities are planning to increase their grant making in 2008. The survey also reports that 33% of foundations have stepped up their giving to help people affected by the economic slowdown in 2008.
FundraisingCrossing, an EmploymentCrossing website, was recently launched to assist fundraising professionals with sorting out the opportunities that they may not find out about otherwise. Unlike other job boards, the site focuses solely on fundraising jobs, and it doesn’t charge employers to post jobs.
“FundraisingCrossing is a research company that works for job seekers,” Barnes says. “We seek to connect you to employers.”
According to Barnes, the most popular searches on the site have been:
Fundraising jobs Cleveland, Ohio
Fundraising jobs for non-profit organizations
Advancement and fundraising jobs
Fundraising jobs
Fundraising jobs in Edmonton
Fundraising charity jobs UK
Director of development jobs
Directory of giving jobs
Fundraising administrator jobs
Nonprofit fundraising jobs
Barnes emphasizes that FundraisingCrossing is committed to finding new sources of jobs daily.
“There are an astonishing number of fundraising job openings out there. We want to find them all,” he says.
FundraisingCrossing charges $29.95 a month to view its job-opening research. As part of the site’s launch special, however, FundraisingCrossing is offering a free, seven-day trial to allow job seekers to familiarize themselves with the service.
