How To Get Your Nonprofit Board To Fundraise

How to Turn Reluctant Board Members into Confident Fundraisers (Even If They Hate Asking for Money)

Let's be honest: board members who eagerly volunteer for fundraising duties are becoming extinct in the nonprofit world. You've seen the looks. The subtle shifting in seats when fundraising appears on the agenda. The sudden interest in smartphone screens.

And those familiar excuses? "I'm not comfortable asking for money." "Can't we just hire someone for that?" "I'll support the event, but don't expect me to make calls."

I've spent decades in the nonprofit trenches watching passionate board members transform into reluctant participants the moment fundraising enters the conversation.

Here's the thing: your mission depends on funding, and your funding depends on an engaged board. But forcing reluctant board members to fundraise often backfires spectacularly.

What if there was a better way?

What if you could match each board member's unique strengths to specific fundraising activities they'd actually enjoy? What if your next board meeting featured enthusiastic discussions about donor relationships instead of awkward silences?

I wrote this book because I've been where you are. I've helped hundreds of nonprofits turn their board's fundraising reluctance into their greatest asset.

This isn't about guilt trips or unrealistic expectations. It's about practical, proven strategies that work with real humans who are passionate about your cause but terrified of "the ask."

No jargon. No fluff. Just straight talk about getting your board engaged in fundraising without the drama.

Your mission matters too much to let fundraising fears get in the way, so crack open this book, and I'll show you:

1. 3 simple exercises that instantly transform "I'm not comfortable asking" into "I can definitely do that!"
2. How to turn the dreaded "give and get" policy into your board's most potent fundraising tool (and why implementing it properly changes everything)
3. How to identify each board member's unique "fundraising role"—and match them with tasks that suits their personalities
4. The counterintuitive method that turns fundraising-phobic board members into confident askers (without cold calls or awkward scripts)
5. The common onboarding mistake that dooms your fundraising efforts before board members attend their first meeting
6. Why your fundraising "training" might be the problem—and the approach that gets better results without the glazed-over eyes
7. How to handle the board member who flat-out refuses to fundraise (without creating committee drama or resentment)

And that's just a fraction of it!

Even if your board visibly cringes at the word "fundraising" and past attempts have left you frustrated and empty-handed, it's okay because this isn't just another theoretical guide written by someone who's never faced a room full of reluctant board members.

I've watched the most passionate, mission-driven people become instantly uncomfortable when money enters the conversation, but I've also helped nonprofit boards like yours turn it all around!

The methods in this 146-page book aren't about arm-twisting or guilt trips. They're practical, field-tested approaches that leverage what your board members already love about your organization and connect that passion directly to sustainable funding.

Plus, inside, you'll gain access to FREE video tutorials, templates, and downloads from our digital course!
