Soaring with Board Giving as the Foundation
Then, your board - I promise - will begin to take their role more seriously. And they will be empowered to ask others to join them as joyful givers.
It is not give or get. It is giving and serving as an ambassador, telling the story and inviting others to give. And please, it is not "give, get or get off." Treat your board - and board giving - with the respect they deserve.

Jeff believes that successful fundraising is built on a bedrock of relevant, consistent messaging; sound practices; the nurturing of relationships; and impeccable stewardship. And that organizations that adhere to those standards serve as beacons to others that aspire to them. The Bedrocks & Beacons blog will provide strategic information to help nonprofits be both.
