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.
Additional details

I am looking for a method to find and approach potential board members that are a good fit for my organization.

What we have in place
  • We currently have information on the audiences that we engage with, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have staff available to help, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,198 , allowing us to fund our next event

A sound board is important if I want my organization to survive in the long run
