We have a very small Development office at our small independent K-12 school (600 students).  We are trying to divide the workload between a small staff and I am wondering if any other schools of similar size could give us advice on an efficient division of duties. We use Raiser's Edge to manage our data and process gift donations. We also do Alumni Relations, Volunteer Management and many special events. Thanks.

 We are 9-12, have 400 kids, and have a small staff.

We have a Director of Development and then an Asst Director of Development in charge of Annual Fund and Alumni Relations and entering gifts into Raiser's Edge.  We have a second Asst Director of Development in charge of Special events and Volunteers.

We also have a business office with a Director of Finance/Operations, A Controller that oversees payroll, the GL, and coordinates the audit, and we have another person who does AP and AR.   The HR function is split between all three people.
