Board Fundraising Guide

What boards can and cannot do in fundraising, and how to have the give-or-get conversation

LEADERSHIP & GOVERNANCEBoard FundraisingGuideGUIDECharity Search Group

Board fundraising, without the guilt trip.

Most board members were recruited without a clear fundraising conversation. Then, six months in, they feel guilty. This guide is honest about what boards can and can't do in fundraising — and how to have the give-or-get conversation as a normal part of the role, not a crisis.

What’s inside

  • The five fundraising roles a board can meaningfully play
  • Scripts for the give-or-get conversation with new and existing members
  • A one-page framework for the board fundraising commitment
  • Notes on the two most common failure modes in nonprofit board fundraising

You may not need this if: Your board fundraising is engaged and productive already.
