A new year brings new goals — but if your board still dreads fundraising, those goals can feel out of reach. You’re not alone — most nonprofit leaders struggle to inspire their boards to take an active, enthusiastic role in raising money.

In this energizing 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn how to transform dread into excitement by reframing fundraising as mission-building, not money-begging. Discover how to tap into your board’s natural strengths, overcome common fears, and build a culture where every member feels confident and proud to play a part in advancing your organization’s mission.

You’ll leave with practical tools, fresh motivation, and an action plan to get your board on board — ready to fundraise with purpose and joy, and make 2026 your best fundraising year ever!

Kim Stewart is on a mission to help nonprofits "do good" even better. With over 35 years of experience leading organizations of all sizes, she’s a fierce advocate for strong, strategic Boards of Directors that drive real impact. In 2020, Kim traded in her staff role for the chance to serve multiple organizations, launching her consulting practice to help nonprofits build powerhouse governance teams.

Giving back is in her DNA—she serves on the Board of Tri-Lakes Cares and volunteers as a Bike Valet at local events (because who doesn’t love a two-wheeled adventure?)
