Imagine how much you could accomplish if every board member contributed his or her best gift and was enthusiastically involved in helping the organization fundraise.  

Well, that’s not going to happen unless you educate the board and develop a strategic plan for their involvement. You can’t just keep asking them to “solicit their lists” - it’s not strategic and it deadens your board members’ spirit and willingness to be involved.

Your board must lead the way in fundraising if your organization is going to fulfill its vision and have the impact everyone wants.  That means a thought-out, formal board solicitation process and a detailed plan for how to strategically involve board members in fundraising.

Join asking and board expert Brian Saber to learn how to:

• Create a board culture where the importance of giving and helping fundraise is clearly understood and embraced
• Develop a board process that absolutely will raise the level of board giving
• Educate your board on what it means to be involved in fundraising as a board member
• Train your board on the art of soliciting gifts face-to-face

* Note: This webinar is accompanied by a 5-page worksheet to be used during the webinar

Bonus Materials:

1. Board Member Resource Commitment Form
2. Anxiety/Excitement Worksheet
3. Culture of Asking Checklist
4. How to Support Each Asking Style Chart
5. Ask as You’d Be Asked Exercise
6. Find Your Own Words Exercise
