About the Event: 

A Director’s perspective: Cultivating a giving mindset and involvement in your major gift program


When it comes to fundraising and monetary support from your board, are you getting 100%? Do you wish they would understand why it’s so important to give? Would you like to get more help from them in your major gift fundraising efforts?

In this session, hear from board members who are active and adding value to the development efforts of their organisations. They are educating their other directors about the importance of philanthropy and helping to shift minds one conversation at a time.

Hear why for-purpose boards should be no different to private sector boards when it comes to giving; how advocacy comes from the bottom up; and how they see their role on these not-for profit boards, particularly in relation to their organisations’ major gift programs.

Each panellist will share practical tips and ideas you can implement at any organisation to transform your board into true “champions” for your cause!

A similar session featuring our panel was very well received at the FIA Conference in Sydney this year. In comparison, this breakfast session will have an increased focus on board involvement in major gift programs.
