I get soooooo frustrated! Fundraising is not the purpose of the board. Governance is. Only part of governance is ensuring that there is money.
Fundraising is not the purpose of the board member. Board members participate in governance. Board members – as individuals – do various things…including fundraising but not exlusively (or even principally) fundraising.
There is a difference between the board and its individual board members. There is more to governance than money.
People who work in the nonprofit sector – e.g., staff and consultants – need to know the difference.
