A US survey result shows that about 3 in 4 fundraisers have been sexually harassed at some point in their careers by co-workers, donors, board members or other stakeholders. Fundraiser’s job entails to keep stakeholders happy so that they donate their money and time, which makes it hard for fundraisers to push back when their harassers behave in inappropriate ways. The survey also shows that lesbian, gay and bisexual fundraisers were more likely to be sexually harassed than their straight counterparts.
