You may need Development Consulting Solutions interim staffing services IF:

  • You need development expertise but do not want to hire someone in-house quite yet
  • You’re a busy executive director who needs a few things taken off of your plate
  • You need someone who can reassure your donors during a transition or vacancy in your development office that your fundraising efforts will continue
  • You want to take your time searching for a permanent development director, and you do not want to be rushed to make a selection
  • You are seeking a new executive director and you want to be sure that this leader has an opportunity to select the permanent development director
  • Your organisation has never had a development director and needs an experienced professional with a proven track record to start up the development office and pave the way for a more junior development officer to be successful
  • Or,  because you need someone who can have more candid objective conversations with the executive director, board, and other leaders about why there are problems with keeping development staff or why your current staff is underperforming
