Interim Development Leadership
What an interim development leader can provide
Interim leadership helps maintain continuity, support the team, and protect the organization’s fundraising momentum.
Depending on your needs, that may include:
- Supporting and guiding development staff through the transition
- Keeping priority donor relationships active through outreach and follow-up
- Maintaining pledge collection, gift acknowledgment, and donor stewardship
- Keeping the CRM, portfolio plans, and fundraising calendar current
- Monitoring grant deadlines, reporting, and other key requirements
- Helping the executive director and board stay engaged in fundraising
- Clarifying priorities and keeping near-term revenue work moving
- Documenting the status of the program and preparing a thoughtful handoff for the next leader
- Helping the executive director assess future needs of the department
A steadier transition for your organization
Interim development leadership can be especially helpful when a vacancy is unexpected, a search takes time, or an organization needs experienced guidance during a period of change. The scope can be shaped around your team and needs, on an interim or fractional basis.
