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

We are struggling with Board recruitment. Any assistance appreciated

What we have in place
  • We currently have volunteers to help, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have data (although minimal), and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,198 , allowing us to save on our budget which currently is less than $35K

We have seven board members and some are paid staff. This is not a good practice that we need to change

Project plan
