11 Questions to Ask Your Fundraising-Resistant Board

A few years back, I was facilitating a board retreat, where it quickly became clear to me that the majority of the board members were unwilling to participate in fundraising or even open to the idea of fundraising.

The First Question Is Key
In all my years of working with boards, I had never encountered such a resistant group. So I asked them this question:

"Do you want your organization to grow, or do you want it to say the same or even shrink?"

That’s the bottom-line question board members need to consider when deciding whether they will or won’t participate in fundraising.
