The importance of fundraising dollars to public institutions is only increasing as state education budgets shrink. That said, the fundamentals of strong fundraising performance (including donor strategy, pipeline development, and staffing) can all be improved by a productive institutionally-related foundation (IRF) board. Unfortunately, most public institution foundations don't manage a board to produce results greater than the sum of its members.

Join us online to effectively identify and cultivate an IRF board that exceeds the expectations of alumni, foundation staff, government officials, and institution leaders. You will learn:

* What the ideal interplay between an IRF board and institution looks like
* Which documentation you need in place to avoid confusion and conflicts of interest
* How to:
o Recognize then bring on strong prospects and move out non-productive members
o Make philanthropic responsibilities clear
o Grow member awareness of institutional issues
o Hold well-timed and productive meetings
o Avoid board micro-management
