WELCOME Cause Strategy Partners WEBINAR ATTENDEES!
Dear webinar attendees,
Given my relationship with Cause Strategy Partners, I’m delighted to offer you enrollment in Board Fundraising Pro. Enrollment for the general public will not open until late Spring at the earliest.
I truly believe there is absolutely no board fundraising ongoing training solution remotely like this anywhere in our field, and I hope you will give it a shot.
You can literally enroll you organization and have all your board members and relevant staff receive all the benefits of Board Fundraising Pro for the one-time $99 fee, then $49 a month total (that is the total for everyone as a group!) and start receiving all these benefits:
- Consistent learning delivered directly to your board members:
- An intro month with brief weekly videos that introduce Board Fundraising Pro, set the stage, and introduce the Asking Styles.
- Starting in Month 2:
- Weekly brief thoughts of inspiration to keep fundraising top-of-mind without overwhelming them
- Monthly video modules: Under 10-minute training videos that tackle one specific fundraising challenge (e.g. “How to approach friends and family), accompanied by a simple discussion prompt for your next board meeting
- Monthly 30-minute live webinars with Brian on key topics where board and staff can ask Brian questions directly (recordings provided)
- Monthly “Board Boost” newsletters with tips to reinforce training, news of what’s coming up, and profiles of boards and board members and their successes
- Your organization’s dedicated landing page and training hub: a private, branded web portal housing all your training videos and resources, so your board members always know exactly where to go for help.
- A private Board Fundraising Leadership LinkedIn group with exclusive access to Brian and other experts who are ready to answer any questions you have about training…and anything board related.
- The Board Fundraising Pro Handbook: A comprehensive, step-by-step manual that serves as the textbook, guiding you through all the resources and how to get the most out of them.
- Scripts, checklists, templates and forms to support board fundraising.
This is a golden opportunity to train whoever’s ready. The beauty of Board Fundraising Pro is it works for the whole team, for a fundraising committee, or even for the few folks (even just staff) who are ready. Doesn’t anyone who’s ready deserve full support?

Board Fundraising Pro comes out of decades of experience with boards. It’s my solution to all the issues that frustrate board and staff members alike:
- lack of funds for in-person training
- lack of time to pull everyone together
- the challenge of providing training only to bring on new board members who missed it
- lack of staff time to give board members the training, support and motivation they need to do their work
- not knowing what exactly to do even if there is time
- feeling you’re the only organization struggling with this
FAQs
Yes, your entire board (and staff members!) can join for the one low monthly price.
Yes, it’s important to have key staff join. This would include your executive director, your director of development if you have one, and anyone else who works with the board on fundraising.
It takes under an hour to initiate your membership and, after that, you can invest as little or as much time as you’d like. Besides inputting new board member and staff names and emails as they arise, you don’t have to lift a finger. However, to get the most out of Board Fundraising Pro you will want to follow the prompts over time, including recommendations for conversations to have at board meetings and individually with board members.
That is totally up to you and your board. To read the various materials and participate in the webinar (or watch the recording) would take about an hour each month. If board members stick to reading Monday Morning Board Matters and the newsletter, and watching the short monthly video, that’s probably 30 minutes of their time. If you’d like to bring them up to speed more quickly, we can guide you through building your own self-led training of 2-4 hours.
Yes – we are here for you. We have a private LinkedIn group where Board Fundraising Pro members can ask our team any questions they have, not only about board fundraising/training but about boards in general. There will be a variety of experts answering questions in the group. It’s like having a free coach at your fingertips when you’re in a pinch.
After you submit the form below to purchase, we will need less than an hour from you to get going, and then we can take it from there:
- We’ll send you an enrollment letter asking for some basic information so we can set up your custom landing page.
- Once we have your landing page set up, you’ll be able to enroll all your board members and staff (we just need names & emails).
