Synopsis

Does the phrase "The development committee will take care of it!" sound familiar? This book reminds board members and chief executives that fundraising is a full board responsibility. With expert advice from the Fund Raising School at the Center on Philanthropy, the material presented here teaches a development committee how to act as the motivator for disengaged board members who are reluctant to make the ask in fundraising. Development Committee, by Eugene R. Tempel, brings with it a necessary clarity in defining what the roles and responsibilities of a development committee are and how to work together with board and staff members to make them effective. This book teaches board members how to take a more hands-on position in board leadership as they participate in fundraising for the organization - straying from the normal oversight and policy-making role of the board. Discover how to use different people in a variety of ways in order to build relationships with donors and members of the community.
