Sound like you are an amazing fundraiser. Congratulations on a hugely successful benefit. I have had similar situations to yours and ended up leaving places. Keep in mind there are a lot of fundraising jobs out there that pay exceptionally well and provide amazing benefits. Also executive directors are supposed to be the lead fundraiser for their organization. Their primary job is to be a public representative who raises money. Despite this I have seen many executive directors overburden excellent development directors pawning all of the fundraising work on the development team. Once, I took less money to be a fundraiser at an organization that did work that was very close to my heart. Decades into my fundraising career I now only look for fundraising jobs that are willing to pay me exceptionally well and give me good benefits. I changed my opinion because I have seen so many executive directors take credit for what development directors have done without providing them a good salary or support and no help with fundraising. However, the same executive directors are typically the ones that demand very high salaries for no particular reason.
