Now YOU can train your board and development committee to become motivated, successful fundraisers.
You don’t have to hire a consultant or a trainer to teach your board members how to raise money. With the help of this remarkable new book, you can do it yourself.
And once you get your board members involved through these exercises, they’ll be much more effective at raising money.
Drawing on decades of experience, and tapping an expert team of fundraising trainers across North America, Andrea Kihlstedt and Andy Robinson have produced a unique, practical book of easy-to-use training exercises for boards of all sizes and sophistication.
Easy-to-Use Board Training Exercises
The exercises in the book are organized into eight sections:
- Reducing Barriers to Fundraising
- Debunking Fundraising Myths
- Making the Case
- Building Blocks for Fundraising Success
- Finding People to Ask
- Asking for the Gift
- After the Ask
- Asking in Other Ways
Each exercise is designed to make it easy facilitate: how to structure it, how long it will take, what materials you’ll need, and even questions you can use to debrief the exercise when it’s over for maximum impact.
Create Your Own Workshops, Seminars and Retreats
The book also includes training menus you can use to create workshops, seminars, retreats, and a series of practice sessions, month by month, at your regular board meetings.
If you’re a new trainer, you’ll find training tips that will teach you what you need to know to be successful.
If you’re a seasoned trainer, use this book to add to your toolbox.
