I’ve spent 28 years advising organizations on how to conduct capital campaigns, and I’ve come to an important conclusion! While there are many things that impact raising money, asking—person-to-person, face-to-face—is the most important of them.
If your board members aren’t comfortable asking for gifts, they’re not likely to do it! A good plan to train your board to ask that provides opportunities of many sorts year round will go a long way to easing their discomfort and turning them into effective fundraiser.
