How to Get Your Board to Help With Fundraising

The number one reason why people do not donate to an organization is that they are not asked to do so. Things to remember as it pertains to your board's role in fundraising:

• Involvement invites investment.
• The board must role model giving behavior for other prospects and donors to follow.
• All fundraising is local. (Ensure your board represents your geography/service area, the major employers in your community, your legislative districts, etc.)
• You may need to teach philanthropy before you can fundraise.
