A small percentage of people who join nonprofit boards are really excited about fundraising. If you're NOT one of those people, this series with Dave Sternberg is absolutely essential.
Dave's dynamic approach to resource development takes into account that not every person is a "make the ask" person and helps you identify ways to find the right fit in your fundraising plan for each board member.
These practical and interactive sessions will be filled with tools you can use and are perfect for board-staff teams to address the complementary roles board members play in their organization's governance and resource development.
The first session will take a close look at board recruitment, structure, operations, and culture, knowing that weak boards don't raise funds effectively. The second session will focus on how to involve board members in effective fundraising and their role in supporting your bequest and planned giving program.
Topics covered will include:
To maximize the benefit of these sessions, we recommend attending as a staff / board team.
