Getting Board Members Involved In Fundraising: A Case Study

Presented in collaboration with Orr Associates, Inc.

How can nonprofits build stronger boards?

Persuading board members to take an active role in fundraising efforts can be a major goal for many nonprofits. Steve Orr and Wray Thorn of Youth, I.N.C. (Improving Nonprofits for Children) tell the story of how they, as executive director and board co-president, worked together to greatly enhance the fundraising capabilities and results of their organization’s board of directors.

Based on their own experience, they will offer insights on how your nonprofit can:
– Select the right board members
– Build effective board committees
– Motivate board members to start raising money
– Utilize the correct tools for improving fundraising efforts
– Develop strong relationships between board members and nonprofit staff
