If you're a philanthropic organization who relies on top donors, then it is important to keep your top fundraisers. Just like with top donors, other organizations will take notice of top fundraisers and actively start seeking them out. Therefore, if you want to keep them, you need to treat them as you would your top donors.
You can do this by making recognition of top performers a regular agenda item. You may need to increase compensation rates for your top talent as well. Finally, if the competition comes calling, find out what it is that appeals to them about the offer, and try to find something comparable. Your top talent is as important as your top donors.
