Building Great Board Fund Development Practices

Event Details

Tuesday, April 15, 2025
10:00am – 2:00pm PT
The Hive, 2904 E. Sprague Ave, Spokane, WA

Your nonprofit has a solid board. Board members are clear about their roles, are supportive of staff, and assist in moving forward strategic priorities. But, there is an ever-present elephant in the room. The board is not engaging in raising funds for your nonprofit. Does this sound familiar?

Why is this the case? There are SO many reasons! As a former executive director and current coach and consultant, Kari Anderson, Principal with Incite! Consulting, has heard ALL the excuses as to why boards don’t want to be involved with fundraising. Join us for this half-day workshop as Kari takes us through solutions to get your board involved in fund development.

A light lunch will be provided. 

Key takeaways:

  • Reinforcing the board’s responsibility to ensure financial resources for mission delivery
  • Underscoring the importance of an annual organizational fund development plan and how to create one
  • Clarifying the role of the board fund development committee
  • Determining board directors’ roles in the fund development cycle
  • Developing organizational stories to maximize fundraising success for your whole organization
