What is Board Fundraising Essentials?
Live, virtual board training, three identical sessions to choose from, one low price.
Why isn’t your board more active in fundraising?
They don’t understand what’s expected and how to do it effectively. They think it’s just about hitting up people they know for gifts, and they rightfully cringe at that.
So, how in the world are you going to get your board to learn about fundraising? Make it convenient. Make it applicable.
Enter Board Fundraising Essentials, which allows your whole board to hear important messages live, from an expert, when it’s convenient for them.
Your board gets the benefit of an expert presenting the what, the why, and the how of board fundraising, without having to hire a consultant to come to your board meeting. The information Brian will share is practical and strategic. Your board members will understand why their involvement is so important and how they can all be successful fundraisers for your organization.
And by joining those from other boards around the country and the world, they’ll feel part of a movement to do good in the world.
To maximize attendance, your board members can each choose from three identical live virtual trainings with Brian. By allowing your board members this flexibility, you can be assured everyone will make one or the other. And, the training is only one hour to be sensitive to your volunteers’ time.
And, if any of your board members can’t make any of the live sessions, a recording of the webinar will be available for everyone as well.

This webinar sparked conversation with the board members on coming together to build strategy and rank priorities – key to moving forward! I think it will help support stronger board engagement in fund development at our Council. As a staff person, these resources are invaluable!
