How it works for development and fundraising

A coffee or the office.

Project work

Grant writing and campaigns of $2,500 and up can run as project work.

Questions

Do development and fundraising need a résumé?

No. You answer a tap-only questionnaire, check your skills and how deep each one goes, play a few short work stories, and invite people to vouch for you.

How is my license shown?

Entered with its number and state, it counts for matching right away and shows as "Self-reported". Verification ($29.99) adds a "Verified" badge. The number is never shown.

Can I meet over video?

No. This work always meets in person: A coffee or the office.
