Very few nonprofits can say their boards of directors are as proactive in fundraising as they’d like them to be. In fact, fundraising ranks last in the areas of board performance. If your board members are reluctant, there are proven ways to enhance their fundraising effectiveness.  This workshop will provide you with strategies and techniques to transform your board into a fundraising board, one that is willing to both “give and get.”

This workshop is designed for executive directors, board chairs and chairs of board fundraising committees.
