What a smart article from Candid about board members and fundraising. I love the idea of educating board members first about your organization's unique “funding strategy.” Then, when they understand it, you can keep them in their lanes and give them specific roles to help. https://lnkd.in/eEn5xj9t

Love! Strategy before tactics, focus on ensuring that your investments and board asks (and maybe who you choose to be board members) match your strategy

Agreed. Great article. And if you don’t fill in the strategic fundraising narrative for your board members, they will do it for you which inevitably results in a gala.

Agreed - this is a useful framework for thinking about board involvement in fundraising. Thanks for sharing!

Love this article! Definitely agree that a part of the fundraisers job is communicating to the people that help them.
