Success in Fundraising Starts With the Board of Directors

Make sure that your board members agree to adopt best practices with regard to their responsibilities. In the area of fundraising, this means that the board must insure that the culture of philanthropy and the commitment to the case for support of the organization start in the boardroom. Before board members can turn to their loyal donors and new prospective donors, they must clearly and unequivocally demonstrate their own support of the organization. This has never been more important than it is right now.
