Philanthropic Leadership: Engaging Board Members as Fundraising Ambassadors

Virtual event planning

Board members are some of the greatest assets to a nonprofit’s fundraising efforts. They play a crucial role in generating momentum around your vision by engaging prospective donors, leading peer-to-peer solicitations, and making generous financial commitments of their own. These activities are essential for smaller development teams with a robust pipeline, limited time, and competing for institutional priorities.

How can we better engage, educate, and empower board members to build a strong culture of philanthropy?

This session will explore the board’s role in elevating fundraising activity and discuss practical strategies to recruit, engage, and deploy diverse board members as fundraising ambassadors.

Learning Objectives:

  • The role of the board in supporting an organization’s fundraising program.
  • Action-oriented strategies to recruit and engage diverse board members in fundraising activity.
  • Case studies to illustrate best practices that organizations can apply to leverage board members as fundraising ambassadors.
