Recently, I facilitated an Executive Director’s Roundtable and our topic of conversation was engaging Board members in Fundraising. I think most of us would like to see more participation from Boards when it comes to raising money!
Here are some tips for helping them join in on the fun:
And don’t forget to celebrate successes with them! Positive reinforment will help shore up their new skills!
Fully contributing boards are so important, and I believe those who contribute themselves are mor apt to make the ask from others.

Hi Sandy-
I’ve been following your sage advice for quite some time!
Exquisite Safaris Philanthropic Travel (ESPT) was founded to support humanitarian 501c3′s in the destinations our philanthropic clients visit.
Engaging the Board of Directors has been an essential component of creating 4profit/non-profit strategic fund raising Philanthropic Donor Tours.
Leading by example is an effective strategy that works in all kinds of organizations, so it follows that engaged stakeholders are key to generating educational, inspirational and financially empowering fund raising experiences…
With gratitude for your advice,
David
