Event Details
Presenter
Thomas Bruner, Principal, Bruner Strategies, LLC
For many organizations, the pressure to raise money is constant. Whether a small start-up new to fundraising, a mid-size nonprofit with an existing fundraising program, or a large and well-established organization with years of experience, the need and competition can be intense. One of the most commonly-heard challenges? "My Board won't fundraise enough!" Even good Boards at great organizations sometimes get stuck talking about and getting ready to raise money, but slow to actually raise it. Portfolio Management is a simple tool to help Board members identify, cultivate and leverage their professional and personal contacts for your organization, while providing clarity and focus about fundraising for both Board and staff.
During this presentation, participants will:
- Identify 3 organizationally-specific barriers to active fundraising by the Board
- Understand and be able to use Portfolio Management as a tool for leveraging Board engagement in fundraising
- Create sample Portfolios for two types of Board members: 1) high income/contact-rich member; and 2) middle-income/contact-limited member
- Develop an action plan with timeline for implementing Portfolio Management with Board members
NEW Flash Consulting Sessions Available!
Fund development consultants Clarinda Hanson White and James Phelps will be available for complimentary 10-minute "flash" consulting sessions during the networking portion of this event. Availability is limited and offered on a first come first served basis.
