CAPABILITY CARD · Business & Finance

The Fundraisers capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 111,040 fundraisers in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

Tools that signal you're current

The systems you actually run — on the record.

Listing the software and platforms you work with is a quiet credibility signal buyers notice. These are the hot and in-demand technologies O*NET associates with fundraisers (★ = flagged hot technology). Your card shows the ones that fit your shop.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten fundraisers wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Identify and build relationships with potential donors.
Duty 02
Secure commitments of participation or donation from individuals or corporate donors.
Duty 03
Write and send letters of thanks to donors.
Duty 04

Your expertise, named

The knowledge that makes the work credible.

These are the expertise areas O*NET ranks highest for fundraisers. On a capability card they read as depth — not buzzwords.

  • English Language
  • Sales and Marketing

Where you stand

A real market — compete on proof, not price.

Nationally, 111,040 fundraisers earn a median of $72,550 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $1.8B in Advertising Agencies contracts in FY2024 (USAspending.gov). When a contracting officer or prime sizes up a small business, a living capability card — cert status, NAICS coverage, SAM registration, core offerings, all current — is exactly what they expect to see. We build yours to land in that lane.
