This session is part of Getting on Board’s Trustee Learning Programme, providing free and high-quality training to support people to become and serve as effective trustees.

What are the best ways that trustees can support the fundraising of their charity, whether they’re fundraising themselves, or relying on staff to do it for them?

Hear from our panel of trustees and fundraisers about their experiences of:

  • How trustees have supported fundraising effectively
  • When trustees have been ineffective or unrealistic in their support of fundraising
  • How trustees can best support staff who fundraise
  • In organisations with no staff, how trustees can keep on top of both governance and fundraising roles
  • How trustees can serve as powerful advocates for the organisation and encourage donor confidence in the organisation
  • How trustees can leverage their personal and professional networks for the charity (given that most of us trustees are average Joes with no Bill Gates or Elon Musks in our phone books)

You will gain valuable insights into instances where trustees have excelled in supporting fundraising efforts and where challenges have arisen.
