Most nonprofit boards are comfortable with governance but freeze when fundraising comes up. If your board members cite discomfort, lack of time, or fear of rejection as reasons to stay on the sidelines, you are not alone. This session with Jayme Dingler, CFRE, founder of What’s Good, LLC, breaks down why board fundraising fails and what you can do about it.
Fundraising is not a one-size-fits-all responsibility, and it is not the development director’s job alone. It is a team effort rooted in relationships, not transactions. Join us to learn how to build a culture of fundraising that sticks.
What you’ll learn:
- Why fundraising is about relationships, not transactions
- How to define board member roles and set a fundraising policy
- How to build a clear, achievable development plan
- How to match board member strengths to the right activities
Stop waiting for your board to come around on fundraising. Register now and walk away with tools you can put to work immediately.
