Nonprofit Board Governance Series: Fundraising 101

Behind every successful nonprofit sits a strong and productive board of directors. The role of board member is one of the most influential volunteer positions in the nonprofit community, and an opportunity to serve a mission to which one is truly dedicated. However, nonprofit board governance is a set of skills that must be learned and practiced. This four-part series on board governance prepares you with the tools and knowledge you need to create real change in your community. If you are ready to step up into a higher leadership role and guide a nonprofit board, this workshop series is for you. If you are already a board member and want to hone your skillset, this series will give you resources and knowledge to strengthen your board service. Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation approaches the breadth of board governance information by blending several resources and interweaving the most valuable pieces into four (4) workshops. Workshops are delivered in three parts: Theory, Practice, and Interactive Application. Nonprofit boards should consider identifying unique board members to attend the appropriate workshop topics to match their leadership roles and your nonprofit’s needs. **To purchase a ticket, see the right side of your screen on the ticketing page.
