A Fundraising Board...Good Luck with that!

I've learned from many people, including my favorite person, Tom Suddes, that it's not the responsibility of the board to raise funds. I get it. Really.

So, it's pretty nifty I found this article and read about 9 Ways Board Members Can Raise Money Without Fundraising:

1. Help create or evaluate a business plan for an earned income venture.
2. Advocate for government money.
3. Provide intelligence on prospects.
4. Set up a meeting with a prospective customer.
5. Email, call or visit a donor just to say thanks.
6. Explain to a prospect why you serve. 
7. Host a small gathering at your home.
8. Recruit an in-kind service.
9. Negotiate a lower price from a vendor.
