Boards that "Work"

Building an engaged, high-functioning Board of Directors is no longer a "want" -- it's an essential need. 

Why? ...because increasingly major funders will specifically ask for details about your Board.  


Board Development
...is an ongoing commitment

Carol works with the ED/CEO and Board members to:
           
  • Ensure each organization consistently has 100% of its Board members financially supporting the organization at least annually
  • Ensure that Board members understand their basic responsibilities -- which includes Strategic Planning
  • Ensure that Board members understand that it is their collective responsibility to attract financial and other resources to further the mission of the organization
  • Clarify the role of the Board Chairperson
  • Build effective Committees
Client Testimonial:

Just wanted to share some wonderful news with you.  We have been in the black for two consecutive months.  And, best of all, we had a $70,000 donation come in last week.  Yeah!!!  We plan to pay off a bill to the landlord and put a good chunk into a one-year CD.  With a new minister in the wings, we are smoking.  This did not happen until after our workshop with you.

Thank you for your help...blessings,

Jane Bailey

From one of the 50 largest foundations in Atlanta:

Carol,

I applaud you for your focus on strategic planning, board development and individual giving.....the three combined are fundamental to a nonprofit's success!  You are right that, all too often, one or more of those elements is missing...and that greatly reduces the chances that a nonprofit will be successful in approaching foundations for grant support.

Keep up the good work.
