Purposeful Boards, Powerful Fundraising

It's never been more important for boards and staff to work together effectively to solicit financial support for your organization.

Designed for board-staff teams, this practical session addresses the complementary roles board members play in their organization's governance and resource development.

The session begins with a close look at board recruitment, structure, operations and culture, knowing that weak boards don't raise funds effectively. The second part of the session focuses on how to involve board members in effective fundraising.

Each participating organization will have the opportunity to work with a consultant provided by The Community Foundation for up to eight hours to implement priorities identified at the session.

To maximize effectiveness, each nonprofit must register at least four individuals to attend this workshop:

• one staff member (preferably the Executive Director)
• at least three Board members
