The "Other" responses included one from a consultant who writes letters for many orgs and does not see the need to support each of them and one without a comment.
That being said, having overseen staff fundraising campaigns previously, I doubt 87% of fundraisers do make a gift to their employers. I also have seen the divide between "frontline fundraisers" and "backroom operations" / "support staff" in terms of giving percentages. This is why I hammer home the need to make everyone on your team embrace the fact that every individual is a fundraiser, even if they don't go out and make the final ask. The research, support, etc. are all critical components of a fundraising campaign and should be recognized as such.
If you have giving percentages for your organization feel free to share below (anonymously) or share your thoughts in the comment section.

Interesting! So the question is, should fundraisers be required to give? Or should there just be an expectation?
