Details

There are three principle characteristics of high-performing philanthropy professionals:

1) work ethic;

2) attention to detail; and

3) people skills.

The people skills refer to the ability to engage, write, present, articulate, and ultimately create long-lasting and powerful relationships.

Successful philanthropy is built on trust – between institutional leadership and donors. The ability of philanthropy professionals to facilitate this trust with many different constituent groups is a core competency required for success.
