Fundraising success depends on organization-wide efforts from the leadership of the board to the dedication of front-line staff. This course focuses on the role the board plays in fundraising and how to best structure the organization to support this role. Board members and staff will work collaboratively to develop an action plan to improve the culture of philanthropy in your organization, improve board recruitment and training, and ensure the organization has a solid case for support. We recommend that a staff person and a board member attend together but it’s not a requirement for the course.
With each staff person registration, a complimentary board member registration is included. The registration form will have space for you to enter your board member’s name.
Don’t have a board member available to attend with you? We recommend that a staff member attend with a board member but it’s not required.
