Stop Self-Funding or Carrying Fundraising Alone. Turn Your Next Board Meeting Into A Fun Board Fundraising Activation Session.
Your board cannot fully commit to raising money and building your organization's fundraising system when they had no role in creating the strategy they are being asked to execute.
If you want your board members to raise money and help build your fundraising system, bring them into the process of creating and adopting the fundraising strategy with you.
The Board Fundraising Game brings everyone into the process from the beginning. It captures the knowledge, relationships and ideas already sitting around your board table and turns them into a fundraising strategy your board understands, adopts and is prepared to execute.
Watch
See how your board moves from individual thinking to collective decisions, an adopted fundraising strategy and clear fundraising roles for every board member.

How It Works
Each board member receives their own Individual Game invitation link before your next board meeting.
They learn how fundraising works, contribute their ideas about how your organization can raise money and decide how they would like to participate in fundraising.
By the time your board meets, everyone has already thought seriously about how your organization can reach its fundraising goal.
Your board turns individual ideas into collective decisions.
Everyone reviews the ideas contributed by the board and ranks the strongest opportunities they believe your organization should prioritize.
The platform turns those priorities into your fundraising strategy.
Your board reviews the strategy together, makes the final decisions and adopts the strategy it is prepared to execute.
Everyone leaves knowing what happens next.
Your organization leaves with an adopted fundraising strategy.
Each board member receives a personal Board Fundraising Portfolio showing how they will help build your fundraising system and how they will help raise money.
They also receive the scripts, templates, checklists and resources they need to execute their role.
Outcomes
Your board identifies who your organization should raise money from, where to find them, how to attract them, the process to raise money from them, and the team, technology and materials required to execute.
You also leave with a clear execution timeline and direction for moving from strategy into action.
Your board members learn how fundraising actually works while building the strategy themselves.
They understand who your organization is raising money from, how those funders will be reached and what needs to happen to move them from first contact to financial support.
Instead of simply telling your board members to fundraise, you give them the knowledge, strategy and tools to actually do it.
If your organization wants to consistently raise money from individuals, businesses and grantmakers, fundraising cannot depend entirely on you.
You need a system that consistently helps your organization find potential funders, attract their attention, build relationships, ask for support, follow up and steward them.
The Board Fundraising Game helps your board design that system with you so fundraising can become an organizational capability instead of one person's responsibility.
Every board member chooses how they want to participate.
They identify how they want to help build your fundraising system and how they want to help raise money directly.
Then they receive a personal Board Fundraising Portfolio and the tools they need to execute their role.
When you lead your board through a clear process that teaches them, involves them in decisions and equips them to contribute, you give them a reason to trust your leadership.
You are no longer simply asking them to do more.
You are giving them the structure, direction and resources they need to show up at the level they want to show up.
