Written By Sherry Quam Taylor

Last week I was a guest on The Nonprofit Show with Julia Patrick. It's always a fun conversation! She even let me talk about one of my favorite topics…Your Board's Give/Get Policy!

 

Here's the things….Often, I cringe when you tell me you have a Give/Get. Why? 

 

Well, that's exactly what I talked about on the show with Julia! 

 

We talked through the Top 5 Reasons Your Board’s Give/Get Is Leaving Thousands (Sometimes Millions) on the Table]!

 

SPOILER ALERT: Here’s what I see…Give/Gets:

🛑keep board members from giving their best gift to your organization.

🛑keep your #fundraising staff from soliciting your board members.

🛑keep your board member’s network from giving their best gifts.

🛑perpetuate that free things & services (the get) are great for nonprofits.

🛑teach board members that fundraising is transactional.

 

What’s the alternative?

 

Your entire team (leadership, board, and fundraising staff) learning how to lead every.single.donor to their best gift, every year.

 

My teams who do this? They secure millions more.
