Board Prospecting

Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of current donors, volunteers, beneficiaries and other constituents to pinpoint people who are interested in serving your Organization
  • Informal staff and board interviews to survey potential connections and/or leads
  • A document of up to ten pages that lists potential board members based upon your Organization's data and current audiences
  • Note: The Professional will not be communicating with prospective board members.
What we have in place
  • We currently have Volunteers, data on donors, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have donations, success stories, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,198 , allowing us to recruit potential board members that can aid in strengthening the mission of our program.

The program will help us achieve our goal because we need leaders within our communities that can help us get the words our our community, enhance our network, increase donor support. It will also help us get on the right path we are still a fairly new program, getting the right people on our board that cares about the services we offer can be instrumental in our success as a program.
