Empowering Your Board in Fundraising Success

Presented by

Marci Bradley, MA, CFRE

Many small nonprofits struggle with the same challenge: knowing their board should be involved in
fundraising but not being sure how to engage them in a way that feels clear, realistic, and sustainable.
This interactive workshop is designed specifically for small shops and emerging professionals who
want practical fundraising systems that work in the real world. We’ll break down the board’s role in
fundraising beyond “making asks” and focus on how to engage board members as ambassadors,
connectors, and partners in a way that aligns with their strengths and capacity.
Participants will leave with clarity around board fundraising expectations and a tangible next-step
action they can take back to their organization and implement right away.
