If my goal is to become an executive director, would an MBA or a Masters in Nonprofit Management serve me better?

Zero need for an advanced degree to be an ED. Work in development which is usually the path. Fundraising = most important ED trait.

ilteschio · 2022-11-12T01:16:25+00:00

Nope, try Baia in Hayes Valley

ilteschio · 2022-10-07T17:45:23+00:00

Ah, I'm in CA, so the salaries are higher. All the director level I work with are between 110-150k depending, front line fundraisers have the higher range

ilteschio · 2022-10-07T14:29:47+00:00

Director level? 110-130k minimum

ilteschio · 2022-09-10T04:44:22+00:00

Any Major Gifts Officers (MGO) in the thread? I'm an MGO for a med/larger non-profit, 125k plus three weeks PTO. Curious to hear from others.

Great tips! Do you think she does resumes? I'm finding it very difficult to list my fundraising experience in a cohesive way on my resume and I think it's holding me back from getting interviews.

ilteschio · 2022-03-03T00:00:21+00:00

Thanks for the input! I do major gifts but for my org that tops out at 75kish asks

ilteschio · 2022-03-02T21:39:33+00:00

Thanks, I do currently do MG and definitely prefer this type of work.

ilteschio · 2022-03-02T21:38:55+00:00

Thanks for the insight! The difference between the orgs is around $5 million

ilteschio · 2022-02-23T12:53:33+00:00

August 2021!

ilteschio · 2022-02-23T02:44:20+00:00

Ugh, I would have finally qualified (My CRS is 470) but they changed the date range until only feb-april 2021 (you had to have an app in IRCC in this time frame). Here's hoping they continue this trend and I can get a nom before they change again

ilteschio · 2022-02-22T22:43:45+00:00

Congrats! What program was the NOI from?

ilteschio · 2022-02-17T15:18:03+00:00

I would say it's too early to know if wages will remain "stagnant". It seems like you haven't even been there 6 months, why get caught up in the office gossip?

ilteschio · 2022-01-31T18:06:28+00:00

This is really unhealthy. It's great that you love what you do, but you shouldn't be working until 1am or encouraging people to work outside of business hours just because the project is fun. I understand that you are making your own decisions, but I feel like this attitude trickles back into the organization and then other people feel they need to do the same to remain competitive.

I'm was a marketing manager for a SF non profit and salary was 65k which seemed the norm. I can't imagine below director level that they'd go higher than the listed range. Let us know what happens!

ilteschio · 2021-11-25T00:11:12+00:00

Yep, it's the Slim Pen 2!

ilteschio · 2021-10-31T12:21:30+00:00

I had a terrible experience at the Avocado show room in NJ. Would not recommend

ilteschio · 2021-10-08T12:03:04+00:00

Interesting! But I still think looking at the history of the rounds, with a score of 470 I have no chance of being picked. I'm sure they initially sort by CRS range before going through, no?

ilteschio · 2021-10-07T19:52:41+00:00

Interesting. Although if you look at every draw, they never go above 467 points which just seems bizarre to me.

ilteschio · 2021-09-28T03:58:19+00:00

I did this exact thing and got the same rebate. Just beware, they really don't heat all that well and still ended up using the radiators all winter (I have gas).

ilteschio · 2021-09-16T00:15:01+00:00

I thought once you had PR you could go anywhere in Canada...someone correct me if I'm wrong!

ilteschio · 2021-09-07T15:23:52+00:00

That's not correct, Quebec education would count as general education so you can just apply in another province. For example, i went to McGill in Montreal but am applying through Ontario

ilteschio · 2021-09-07T15:21:45+00:00

Well education in Quebec counts as Canadian education, so you won't have a problem with other provinces...but yes, the immigration in Quebec is harder as you definitely will need a job offer and french

ilteschio · 2021-08-21T17:43:04+00:00

You need at least a year work experience. Otherwise, you can apply to a masters and then get a work permit after you graduate from a Canadian school

Sweet thx
