Board Fundraising
Turn board commitment into fundraising action.
Your board may care deeply about the mission but struggle to translate its relationships into fundraising. A few members may be carrying the work. Staff may be doing the reminding and follow-up. Or a longtime board member may be leaving with donor relationships no one else holds.
We go beyond board training to define roles and expectations, activate relationships, build accountability, and address the leadership or governance issues that may be limiting fundraising.
Roles & Expectations
Define what fundraising looks like for the board, individual members, board leadership, committees, staff, and the CEO/ED.
Relationships & Activation
Help board members find the role that fits their individual strengths, share their connection to the mission, map their networks, make introductions, and participate meaningfully in donor relationships.
Structure & Accountability
Build the practices that keep fundraising moving, including board commitments, committee structures, activity measures, staff-board partnership, and peer accountability.
The goal isn't to turn every board member into the same kind of fundraiser. It's to turn the commitment already around your board table into effective fundraising action.
“Gravity Collective completely changed the way our board thinks about fundraising. Instead of seeing it as asking people for money, we now see it as building relationships and inviting people into our mission. Every board member came away understanding how they can contribute in a way that fits their strengths. We now have a shared understanding of what board fundraising looks like and how to do it as a team. We have a plan and momentum, and we’re moving forward together.”
