Putting Board Members Under a Fund-Raising Contract - Philanthropy.com

Putting Board Members Under a Fund-Raising Contract - Philanthropy.com: "Many, if not most, charities want their boards to be more engaged in fund raising.

To persuade her trustees to take the idea seriously, Alexi Miller, development director of Acterra, an environmental group in Palo Alto, Calif., asked them to sign a contract stating that they agreed to be active fund raisers. Ms. Miller recently discussed her charity’s contract for trustees on a listserv maintained by the Association of Fundraising Professionals."
