Description
Your board of directors has a fiduciary responsibility for the strategy and financial stability of your nonprofit. This tool makes it easy to ask for each board member’s support every fiscal year.
Many funders ask: “What percentage of your board made a gift this year?” And your answer should be “100%!”
Here’s how to Increase board giving in 3 steps:
- Carve out time at each board meeting to include fundraising updates in your financial report. This normalizes fundraising and creates a culture of philanthropy.
- Discuss a Give-Get policy that applies to every board member. Get their feedback – and buy-in. It is essential that everyone make a personal gift (not in-kind) at some level.
- Vote on the Give-Get policy language that emerges as a consensus and record board approval in your meeting minutes. Use the language from the top of this pledge form to guide you.
