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 looking for between 4-6 Board Members to join, most importantly our Treasurer needs to step down and has agreed to stay on until we can find a replacement.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a functional board, Board Application packet, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have connections through Chief (women's leadership network), and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,198 , allowing us to furnish a classroom with toys and materials.

We have gotten through our infancy state of nonprofit and are ready to run. We are looking to ramp up our Board in both their giving and the fundraising. We currently have 5 board members and we have been meeting monthly. We are full push fundraising to get our site open for September and so we need to source some serious, experienced professionals.
