1 Lesson / 61 Minutes / FREE
Frustrated with board members saying that they’ll help – only to see nothing happen? Tired of fundraising being an afterthought at board meetings? Waiting for the day when others will be as excited about fundraising as you once were?
Fundraising success depends on many critical factors, not the least of which is having a collaborative approach to the fundraising process. For philanthropy to be truly fulfilling for donors (thus assuring that they will continue their contributions and become a sustaining source of funds for the organization) the following collaborative mindsets must exist:
Program staff is committed to measuring impact and collecting stories. The chief executive for the organization embraces their role as the chief asker. The board regularly discusses fundraising and embraces their role as ambassadors. Support staff recognize unique needs of fundraising and work collaboratively to meet those needs. Fundraising professionals seek out partnerships and approach planning as a joint effort. In this presentation, we’ll explore what you’ll need to know to build a collaborative approach within your organization – regardless of what your official role is.
Time will be given for a lively Q&A session.
