How Your Board Members Can Bring In Money

How do you create a board that will get out there, get their hands dirty, if necessary, and help bring much needed money into the organization?

It starts, as much else does, with education and clear expectations. A successful board means that all members fully understand, and actively participate in, their roles and responsibilities as both an individual director, as well as a unified team. This should be clear immediately, with candid conversations about what their role means and what obligations they have to the organization, including fundraising. In fact, organizations that do not implement early and concise expectations for directors often fall short of their fundraising goals. Ultimately, it’s imperative to make and maintain that connection.
