From Stuck to Success: Fundraising Tools to Help Your Board Get it Done
with Chris Baiocchi from Resolute Philanthropy and Jennifer Li Dotson from Campbell & Company
If you are ready to change your board’s approach to fundraising, you need to take action – starting with the beliefs and mindsets that are holding your volunteers back.
Session participants will leave with tools and strategies to address and overcome three common mindsets that keep your board members away from fundraising. Specific takeaways include:
• Agenda for 1:1 meetings with board members w/ questions
• Sample board member expectations & self-assessment document
• A checklist of key board infrastructure elements with information on term limits, give/get policies, conflict of interest policies, and confidentiality policies.
