Introduction
The survey responses indicate that a majority of the programs are one-person professional shops.
When asked how many professional staff raises money for the library, 42 respondents (53%) indicated
that there is only one person not including the library director who is charged with this task. Twenty-
two programs (28%) are staffed by two professional fundraisers, but only 16 have three or more
professional staff, including one outlier with 43 full-time professionals. The reported FTE counts
indicate that library fundraising is a full-time responsibility for 60% of professionals in one-person
operations, but the percentage drops in the two- to six-person operations. Overall, only 49% of the
reported professionals are full-time library fundraisers, excluding the outlier institution.
