As a trustee of a nonprofit organization, you have been asked to support the group’s fundraising efforts. If you are unsure of your role, ask our librarians for Fearless Fundraising for Nonprofit Boards, 2nd ed. (BoardSource 2008). The guide by Dave Sternberg offers practical advice with a focus on obtaining gifts from individual donors. Turn to the appendix for a checklist that lists the ways you can assist. For example, will you help...
-write the case statement?
-suggest names for major gift prospects?
-thank your organization’s donors?
-organize special events?
-make visits for gift solicitations?
