Board Reality Check

Often, board members would be more than willing to help with fundraising (and note that they are willing to help, not necessarily be one-person bands), if only they knew what to do.

Your job, therefore, is to ensure that they not just know what to do but also how to do it well. This does not mean that you give them a quick course in fundraising 101 and send them off. It does mean that you walk them through the process slowly, ensuring that they experience success.
