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.
What we have in place
  • We currently have a board member agreement and board expectations, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have five board members, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,198 , allowing us to use funds for our program and participants, and to save up to buy a home for our program.

We are a small nonprofit with a very small staff serving young adults with disabilities. As a nonprofit, the majority of our funding comes from donors and fundraising. We need a strong board to help us achieve our financial and growth goals so that we can serve a larger population and provide our program with its own location. We need board members who can help us network, market, and fundraise.
