Have you worked more with corporate or individual donors?

Focus any discussion of your experience on the area for which you are interviewing, but also show that you understand how to fundraise in other areas. For example, if you have more corporate experience, elaborate on that experience, but also share how that knowledge informs an understanding of fundraising from individuals.

"During my years as a corporate fundraiser, I have raised over 100 million in partnerships with dozens of separate corporate entities. I have raised an additional 50 million in grant funding from corporate foundations. While my experience in successfully procuring large corporate gifts qualifies me for a corporate fundraising position, I also believe that my skills translate into individual fundraising. Each corporate gift I secure began by making human contact and developing relationships with the people involved on the corporate side. It requires strong interpersonal skills the same way that individual fundraising does. As such, although I consider myself a corporate fundraising professional, I am confident I could also secure large gifts from individuals."
