Workshop Overview:

Fundraising doesn’t have to be scary or uncomfortable—even if you’re not “a fundraiser.” This interactive session is designedfor Board Members just like you.

We’ll explore the fears and myths that hold Boards back and reframe fundraising as joyful, relational, and alignedwith your mission. Walk away with practical tools and renewed confidence.

Here is what we will cover:

✅Five beliefs that make fundraising hard and how to overcome them

✅How to fundraise authentically without begging or “being salesy”

✅Tangible, realistic ways to support your organization’s fundraising

✅Q&A on your real-life fundraising challenges

This is for you if:

  • You’re a Board Member who wants to support fundraising but feels uncomfortable

  • You believe fundraising should align with values and mission

  • You’re ready to show up and participate

Please note: This workshop is offered for free live only. There will be no recording, so you need to show up to participate!
