Inspire Your Board to Embrace Fundraising.
Although generally well-intentioned, Board members often shy away from helping raise funds for their organization. Nonprofit staff and leaders recognize that an engaged Board of Directors is a critical factor in the success of their organization. A major component of that success is a Board that understands and embraces its role in fundraising.
There are steps you can take to strengthen your Board’s participation in the critical role of fundraising:
- Evaluate the type of Board you currently have governing your organization
- Define the role that the Board members will play in fundraising activities
- Find one or two Board members to take the lead in this transition
- Engage your Board in fundraising activities & set clear goals for their participation as well as metrics to help measure their success
- Use evaluation and governance or the nominating committee to strengthen Board management
Join Jan Bandrofchak and Certified Fundraising Executive, Pam Hurd-Kneif, in January for the interactive workshop, “Help! My Board is Afraid to Fundraise” and learn more about how create Board accountabilities for fundraising.
