Fear And Loathing In The Fundraising Office

Fear And Loathing In The Fundraising Office: "Andrew Watt, FInstF, president and CEO of AFP believes that fundraisers feared talking to boards because of a boards’ unfamiliarity with fundraising in general. “Board members play an important role in fundraising because they are great spokespersons for the charity they serve and they can speak with authority on the impact of the organization,” Watt said via a prepared statement. “However, many board members focus more on the fiscal management and operations aspects of their responsibilities, and it can be challenging for fundraisers to get them involved in raising money.”"
