On Demand Program
The best advancement programs and institutional leaders find meaningful ways to involve board members in fundraising. Too often we hear, “I will do anything but ask others for money!”. Yet, in addition to their own personal giving, board members are asked to join you in identifying, cultivating, soliciting and thanking donors and prospective donors. But many board members, perhaps especially new members, have a hard time viewing themselves as members of the major gift fundraising team.
During this webinar, Senior Consultant Nancy Gray will share the best ways to focus your board members on this critical work that can help elevate your advancement program, and help your Board members feel engaged and enthusiastic about their work.
Topics we will cover include:
- Helping Your Board Understand their Role in Fundraising
- The Role of a Board Member in Donor Identification
- Cultivation Steps That are Easy and Natural
- Setting Board Members Up for a Successful Solicitation
- The Importance of Board Engagement in Stewardship
- What You Can Do to Help Your Board Members Succeed
