Do you have board members that hate fundraising? Board members that refuse to ask anyone for money or tap into their networks? Well, here are 8 things they can do to help with fundraising:
- Sign thank you letters
- Include your organization in their estate plan
- Help with prospect research (review annual reports, look up addresses, etc)
- Make thank you calls to donors
- Research foundation/corporate funders
- Write an article for the annual report or newsletter
- Help with your events (set-up, take-down, staffing a table, etc)
- Volunteer to speak at programs/events about why they are involved with your organization
And if they just don't want to verbally ask anyone, then they could:
- Provide you with their address book
- Write ask letters for in-kind donations for events
- Write personal notes for appeal letters
- Send an e-mail ask to their friends
