How to Harness Your Nonprofit Board Structure to Raise Money

Sean Kosofsky from Nonprofit Fixer joins us to share how nonprofits can successfully launch or revive a development (fundraising) committee to increase revenue without overburdening their board of directors. He breaks down what a development committee is, why it shouldn’t consist solely of board members, and the essential actions it must take to be effective. We also explore how to recruit and engage volunteers, assign and complete tasks efficiently, avoid social loafing, run productive meetings, and even make the process enjoyable—so your committee stays active, accountable, and results-driven.ABOUT OUR GUESTSean Kosofsky is the founder of Nonprofit Fixer, where he helps nonprofits grow their impact through smarter fundraising, advocacy, and strategic planning.
