“How do I get my board members to do stuff they don’t want to do?” I get this question SO often, and here’s my straight-up, no-bullsh*t answer. 🚨 You’re never going to get board members to do things they don’t want to do. You can ask them a million times and all they’ll do is ignore you 🚨 But there are things you can do to help them get other things done. 💡 First, help them understand the whole cycle of the donor journey. Oftentimes, board members think that fundraising is only about asking for money, but you know that’s just a small percentage of the overall cycle. You know it's about identifying and cultivating relationships, solicitation, and stewardship. A lot of board members just don't realize this. It’s up to you to inform them. 💡 Brainstorm activities that they could do relative to each step of the cycle. Create a board menu, and have individual conversations with each person about what they are willing to do this year. I once had a board member who was quite wealthy who told me she was willing to do anything except ask her friends for money (eeh, a bit problematic for a board member, but whatever). She had a beautiful Upper East Side townhouse, so instead she hosted multiple fundraising events for us. It’s a fine balance of helping them figure out what they can do to support the work. The more you can celebrate their commitment and provide support, the more likely they are to get sh*t done ✅ Are you in the process of creating a more engaged board?

Your surveys suck. When you don't. 1️⃣ Think headline first Each question should tie directly to a headline you'd wanna use for pitching. If you can't think of one, maybe the question is redundant. Scrap it, we gotta be brutal. Think about this in relation to which way the answers come back too, what would the headline be if the majority picked A Vs B. 2️⃣ Write it like you want it Language is powerful. If you want a certain answer, then craft the question to try and lead the respondents to lean that way. 3️⃣ Get crafty Depending on who you use for your surveys you may be able to get more bang for your buck by structuring your survey in a certain way. E.g. Some places count five yes/no statement questions as one standard question. So if you structure and word your survey correctly you can get five questions answered for every one. This one thing alone can save you grands. You can thank me later. What survey tips you got? -- 👋 Need a survey crafted for you next campaign? ☎ Drop in a discovery call
