I work in nonprofit fundraising and there are a TON of jobs going on our side, but a lot of our clients have had to lay off/downsize and aren't hiring as much right now. After the fundraising boom during covid, when everyone was at home and nothing to do but watch netflix and donate, people are getting back to their lives and donations are dropping off (normalizing, really, but after two great years it feels tough). Plus expenses are so off the charts that even more belt-tightening is happening to preserve the net revenue.

That said, check out networking events at the Direct Marketing Association of Washington (DMAW). Lots of nonprofits attend as well as fundraisers, and people from either group can give you some leads. I'll give it some more thought too!
