Board Reality Check

This can be harder than it sounds. Members of your board might not want to talk about what concerns them about fundraising. They may not want to talk about fundraising at all.

This reality check is important for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is starting or kicking into higher gear the conversation about fundraising with your board. Starting the conversation is one important factor. Listening to what your board members really are saying is another thing altogether. And it is the more important part.
