Stuck on What to Teach Your Board About Fundraising? Start Here
Half of you shared that youโre not sure what topics to cover when training your board in fundraising. Youโre not aloneโand itโs no wonder boards resist training when the content doesnโt feel relevant or empowering.
The key is to focus on practical, role-specific skills. Board members donโt need to become fundraisers overnightโthey need to understand how to connect, communicate, and contribute.
Start with these three areas:
Clarity on their role in the fundraising process
Confidence in telling the organization's story
Concrete actions they can take (not just asking for money)
Pro tip: Even a 30-minute session on storytelling can transform how your board members talk about your mission! Small steps lead to big confidence.
Throughout my years working with nonprofit boards, I've seen how the right training approach can turn fundraising-resistant board members into passionate advocates. The transformation happens when training meets them where they are.
If your board could use this kind of clarity and confidence around fundraising, I specialize in developing board-specific training that gets results. Let me know if I can help your team take that next step!
