Most nonprofits struggle with getting their board members fully active in fundraising. Over my 26+years of experience I have worked with hundreds of boards to adjust their mind-set about fundraising and redefine it from an entirely new point of view. Board members don’t understand how powerful the act of raising money can be-it’s an effort to make the world a better place. It is some of the most important work anyone can ever do-on the front lines causing change for the good. I have provided a format that can be used by any board member who might think fund raising is like holding a “tin cup” and thus holds an attitude equating fundraising with begging. I will provide the essential steps to take board members from fear of fundraising to understanding and to open the door for willingness. These steps give them a whole new perspective about raising money that is far more empowering and inspirational.
