Nonprofit board members are asked to be advocates and to solicit gifts, but are rarely given the tools, language, and opportunity to practice the skills to be successful in fundraising. Rubin & Associates offers engaging sessions for Board members, as part of regular board meetings or at planning retreats, to help these valued leaders feel comfortable and eager in asking for and closing gifts. We can also help prepare boards for the possibility of a capital, endowment or comprehensive campaign. The emphasis is on laying out practical steps to plan and execute a special philanthropic initiative. In addition, we can help with Board recruitment techniques and strategies, and laying out clear expectations of service.

This planning and practice is vital for CEOs, Executive Directors and Development professionals in working with their Boards.  We’ll help you find the right role for each Board member to make best use of their talents and personalities.

At Rubin & Associates, we believe a strong Board is the cornerstone of a successful organization. Contact us or call 314-920-5996 to learn more about how we can support your Board governance and training needs.
