Throughout our discussions with Kathleen, she focused on the importance of the work that Fashion Revolution USA does, why they think a Director of Fundraising role would be beneficial to them, and what they are looking for in a candidate. Kathleen let us know that Fashion Revolution USA has never had a designated person that solely focused on the typical duties that a fundraiser would do, which consists of coordinating fundraising events, managing financial processes, grant writing, and overseeing donation efforts.
Knowing this, the scope of the project is to recommend recruiting and onboarding initiatives for Fashion Revolution USA to profile the correct person for the newly developing fundraising role. We intend to help in these efforts by researching legalities, skill development, and matrixes of the role. This will then allow us to make recommendations on the details of the role and what the role could look like for the company. Since Fashion Revolution USA is a non-profit, mostly comprised of volunteers, we know that we will need to offer information that allows the company to make the best decision to ensure they reach their fundraising visibility and diversity so that funds are continuously coming in.
