Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of the Director of Fundraising to generate adequate income to operate the organization.  If The House was a for-profit company, which it is not, the Director of Fundraising would be in charge of all sales and therefore generation of all income - the lifeblood of the organization.

The Dir. Fundraising is provided an annual fundraising target based on the forecasted annual expense budget of the organization - which becomes the minimum level of performance expected from this Department.

The Department Fundraising carries a severe responsibility because non-profit organizations cannot go into the 'red' when their 'sales' target is not made - when this happens we must either cut staff, move children to alternative care, or children will go hungry and do without essentials.
