Fundraising for Nonprofit Board Members Wayne Olson

Fundraising for Nonprofit Board Members is the essential resource for all board members charged with fundraising.
Fundraising for Nonprofit Board Members answers essential questions such as:
What is a board member's role in fundraising?
Should a board member be expected to ask friends and associates for money?
Will board members be begging?
Isn't that what fundraising really is?
should a board member expect to give personally to the charity?
What is a special event, a will, an annual fund, and what do they have to do with fundraising and the board member's responsibility? Each chapter gives board members the tools they need to be effective and efficient fundraisers. Rather than being something board members "have to do," fundraising will become more productive and even enjoyable. Each chapter also ends with questions to help reinforce highlights from the chapter, and gives boards much-needed discussion points for the next board meeting.
Fundraising for Nonprofit Board Members is a must-have resource for any nonprofit board member. It shows what each board member needs to know about fundraising, and dispels many myths that make fundraising seem unappealing. When you approach fundraising equipped with the right knowledge and setting, you will succeed in fulfilling your fundraising responsibilities, but better yet, you will enjoy your time and actually enjoy raising money for your organization. Discover fundraising is NOT about asking for money. And how you can raise more money by never asking for money.
Fundraising for Nonprofit Board Members makes an ideal gift for CEOs and Board Chairs to give to each board member at the beginning of the year or when someone joins the board.
