Demystifying Fundraising For Your Board Members

There are three groups that partner your nonprofit’s revenue generation.

Your Executive Director/CEO
Your Fundraising Staff
And, your Board

If one of those is not doing their job, reaching and exceeding your annual need is going to feel like you’re climbing a hill with a cannon ball strapped to your leg.

If you do fundraising the right way or go at it from a different perspective, you’ll actually realize that getting boards to play their role in fundraising doesn’t have to be so hard.

Let me show you how it’s done.

Tune in to learn more 🎬 watch the full episode of The Business Behind Fundraising — Demystifying Fundraising For Your Board Members with Sherry Quam Taylor.

What You Will Discover:

✔️Train your board. The root of your board’s love-hate relationship with fundraising? Well, they’re experts in something else. Board members got their positions for a reason - they are experts in their respective fields. But they probably never learned how high-ROI fundraising works.

✔️ Lead by example. Take the first step in showing your board what strategic fundraising looks like. Initiate positive donor experiences. Free up their time for high-ROI activities.

✔️ Ditch the script. Your donors can sense when you’re being inauthentic. They can hear the nervousness. Challenge your board to just be their real selves.

✔️ The ask is just ONE step in the process. Fundraising is a journey. Each board member holds a supporting role in different portfolios and donor experiences all year round. If they deeply understand the process, they’ll be more comfortable playing their role.

✔️ Fundraising is more than just asking for money. Educating. Networking. Connecting. This is what fundraising SHOULD be about. Embody these ideas so you can actually show up as the best version of yourselves. I hope to see you crafting the best, high-yielding fundraising strategy for your organization! ---
