Webinar: Board Fundraising in Rural and Small Communities: 10 Plays That Actually Work

In small towns and rural areas, board members often feel pressure to be major gift solicitors, but the context is completely different—smaller donor pools, overlapping relationships, and limited development infrastructure. This session flips that pressure into a menu of simple, relationship-focused fundraising actions that every board member can do, from coffee chats and gratitude calls to peer-to-peer engagement and community events. Participants leave with 10 ready-to-implement plays, sample scripts, and a calendar to roll them out.
 Participants Will Leave With:
- 10 specific, high-success fundraising actions board members can take in under one hour per month
- Language and scripts to make "the ask" feel natural and relationship-centered
- A board member role matrix showing which members excel at which fundraising plays
- Confidence that rural/small-community fundraising is different—and they have the right tools
- A 90-day board fundraising calendar they can adapt and implement
