Nonprofits With Active Fundraising Boards More Likely to Meet Goals

Respondents indicated which of 11 different board member engagement methods they use at their organizations. The methods ranged from relatively easy steps, such as thanking doors without asking for another gift or sharing a mailing list, to having face-to-face meetings with donors or making personal introductions. On average, organizations with active fundraising boards used between six and seven of the different methods studied. Some of the methods were associated, with statistical significance, with a greater probability of meeting fundraising goal.
