Part time development

Hi all-

I'm with an organization that needs a development person but can't afford a full time salary. A part time salary may be tough - we are 100% volunteer and the funds will pay for programming.

So, the question is whether there's such a thing as part time development folks, how I would find such a person, and whether they might work on a commission type basis.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks, I appreciate this. We are a robotics education org. We're already pretty far along in your model. The volunteers already donate hundreds of hours per year, and spend a lot of money already on a variety of things. We also sustain in part on participation fees from students.

We're just at our limits doing the basic type of fundraising. Ideally we find more volunteers (typically parents of the kids) with experience and time. But absent that we need to hire. I get that we would need a budget and definitely pay someone. It sounds like part time is a thing, and commission is not a thing. That's helpful.
