How to Recruit a Fundraising Board

Tie everything to your financial engine
Once you figure out each individual board member's job, brainstorm how that ties to money. To create a sustainable financial engine for your nonprofit, money has to be part of every conversation.

If, for example, you determine that a particular board member's legal expertise is critical to your nonprofit's ability to launch a new program in the coming year, then also work with that member to figure out how that new program will become financially sustainable. Perhaps there is an earned income component to the new program that he or she could help you to develop.
