Transform Your Board From Passive to Proactive
“I thought I joined the board for strategic oversight, not to ask for money.”
Sound familiar?
This is the #1 complaint from nonprofit Executive Directors: Their board doesn’t fundraise.
Board members attend meetings, vote on budgets, and care about the mission – but when it
comes to fundraising, they go silent.
Only 33% of board members actively advocate for their organizations. The other 67%? They’re
wonderful people who simply haven’t been equipped to fundraise.
The good news: This is fixable.
Join Amy Sexton Stanislavski, CFRE, for this comprehensive FREE webinar on building a board
that actually fundraises. Whether you’re recruiting new members, training existing ones, or
trying to hold people accountable, you’ll leave with specific tools and strategies you can
implement immediately.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
Recruit Right from the Start: Learn how to write job descriptions that clearly communicate
fundraising expectations BEFORE someone joins. See examples of what works (and what
scares away good candidates).
The 4 Essential Training Tools: Most boards fail at fundraising because they’ve never been
taught HOW. Get the exact training materials that turn board members into confident advocates:
(1) One-page case for support, (2) Circle of Influence form, (3) Ask cards with scripts, (4) Thank
you call guidelines.
Circle of Influence Method: Every board member knows 100-300 people. Learn how to
systematically identify prospective donors within their networks without it feeling awkward or
salesy.

Accountability That Actually Works: Discover how to track board fundraising activity,
celebrate wins publicly, address gaps privately, and (when necessary) not renew
underperforming members. Includes dashboard template.
Q1 Is Recruitment Season: January through March is when most organizations recruit new
board members. If you need better board members, START NOW with the strategies from this
webinar.
