Event Description

If you have dreamt of having board members who are willing fundraisers, but can't quite make it your waking reality, join nationally-recognized trainer and author of "Grassroots Grants", Andy Robinson, for this interactive full-day training. Andy will provide practical, specific ideas that will help you increase board involvement and effectiveness in fundraising.

When the economy goes soft, you need all the help you can get to meet your budget. Working together, we will identify fun, creative techniques that can move board members into action. Bring your board chair and your fundraising committee members!

Workshop Topics Include:

  • 20 ways your board members can bring in the bucks - even in a recession
  • Why board members fear fundraising
  • How board "job descriptions" can help recruit willing fundraisers
  • Using the board to identify and solicit larger gifts
  • Training and motivating your board

Mobilize Your Board to Raise More Money is designed for nonprofit executive directors, development staff, and board members. Learn fun and practical ways in which busy board members can raise funds for your organization. Board Chair/Executive Director teams will especially enjoy this opportunity to work together to mobilize your board.
