BUILDING BOARD SUPPORT

You can take your Giving Day success to new heights by leveraging your board members and their passion for your cause! Organizations with engaged board members raise approximately 2-3 times more than those that don’t involve their board in the planning process.

Ten Steps to Board Success:

  1. Have a Giving Day Kickoff at your next board meeting
  2. Include your board in your goals
  3. Share regular updates throughout the planning process
  4. Provide your board members with clear opportunities and steps to help your organization reach its goals
  5. Leverage your board members as Peer-to-Peer Fundraisers to help raise more and expand your reach
  6. Update your board on your progress from beginning to end
  7. Encourage your board members to support you on Giving Day with matching funds, social sharing, and promotion of your participation with their networks
  8. Invite your board members to attend an in-person event
  9. Ask your board members to help you personally thank and steward your donors
  10. Don’t forget “Thank You” to your board members for their help and hard work and celebrate a job well done
