About

Founded in 1978, Paschal•Murray is an established leader committed to providing a streamlined, client-centered approach to executive searches. The firm specializes in filling positions in philanthropy, organizational advancement and nonprofit management, as well as other contexts where fundraising is a primary mechanism for generating support. Over the past 45 years, we have provided our services to clients in nearly every state in the US and worked in several foreign countries as well. Whether you are looking to recruit a fundraising professional for your nonprofit organization, an alumni director at your university, or a new president for your foundation, we’re here to assist you in finding high-quality candidates and making an informed selection with confidence.

One of our greatest strengths is that the senior executives of Paschal•Murray have professional experience in fundraising and Human Resources, with extensive connections across these fields. These relationships, along with a sizable database of qualified professionals, allow our firm to identify a large pool of quality candidates for the position you are looking to fill. We are continually working to keep these networks up to date, so you have access to current leads and the best talent available. The other major asset we bring to each of our clients is the firm’s dedication to upholding business ethics and promoting best practices in the not-for-profit sector. When tailoring a search process to your HR requirements, ensuring compliance with employment law, and seeking candidates that match your organizational culture and values, we offer informed guidance at every step.
