CAPABILITY CARD · Management & Operations

The Fundraising Managers capability card.

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

There are 38,810 fundraising managers 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 fundraising managers (★ = 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 fundraising managers 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.

Where you stand

A real market — compete on proof, not price.

Nationally, 38,810 fundraising managers earn a median of $125,470 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.
