Here's the thing nobody told you when you joined this board:
Fundraising isn't just asking for money.

LET'S BE HONEST
If you've ever thought any of these — this training is for you.
You're not a bad board member. You just never got the training.

“ I'd do anything for this mission… except ask my friends for money.
“ Isn't this the Executive Director's job? That's what we hired them for.
“ I wrote my check. I thought that was my part.
“ I'd help if someone told me exactly what to do — but "get names and make calls" isn't a plan.
“ If I ask, they'll ask me back. And I can't keep matching everyone's causes.
“ I feel guilty every board meeting when fundraising comes up. But I still don't know how to help.

Good news: you don't have to ask anyone for money to be an extraordinary fundraising board member.
Most boards get stuck because they're only shown one way to help — and it's the scariest one. In this training, you'll see four completely different ways to contribute. At least one will feel natural to you. Probably three.

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
90 minutes. Zero awkwardness. A role you can actually say yes to.
You'll leave this session knowing exactly how you can help raise money for your organization — in a way that feels like you.
01
The four ways board members actually help raise money
Only one of them involves asking. The other three are things you probably already do naturally — you just didn't know they counted.
02
Why "just get me names" makes every board member freeze
The real reason you avoid the fundraising agenda item — and the simple shift that makes helping feel clear instead of scary.
03
How to help without ever feeling like a used-car salesperson
A way to contribute that doesn't require you to solicit your friends, trespass on relationships, or become someone you're not.

This training is for you if any of this sounds familiar.
You joined the board because you believe in the mission — and you want to contribute meaningfully, not just show up to meetings.
You want to support fundraising, but "just ask your friends" feels icky, awkward, or impossible.
You're tired of the guilt every time fundraising comes up at a board meeting — and you're ready for a role you can actually own.
You want to know what you're actually supposed to be doing so you can stop guessing — and stop leaving it all on the ED.
You'd love to feel genuinely proud of the way you contribute — not vaguely anxious about whether you're doing enough.

Your organization needs you.
Your ED is exhausted.
And you've been quietly wondering what you can actually do.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BOARD SAY YES
Boards that learned this have helped their orgs raise millions.
You don't have to take Rhea's word for it. Here's what happened when real board and leadership teams stopped winging it — and started working the system you're about to see.

"I walked in unsure. I walked out with a million-dollar organization."
Our investment was pivotal. We went from a budget of less than $300K serving 125 students to more than $700K — and $1M projected for 2026 — serving 350 students. The immediate result? A $220K two-year grant from the City of Sacramento. The single largest grant we've ever secured.
Faith Galati
Executive Director
"Our board smashed a $100K goal and hit $135K."
Thanks to the plan Rhea created for us, our board crushed the $100K goal for our 50th Impact Circle and we're at $135K. We turned multiple people into fundraisers by showing them how a permission-based ask can change things. One board member had a 100% hit rate with solicitations.
Melissa H.
Director of Development
"Tripled our major donors. Closed a $150K family pledge."
Tripled major donors from 8 to 25. Secured a $150K three-year pledge after presenting to a family. The clarity and the confidence came first — the money followed.
Connor Kirkpatrick
Nonprofit Leader
"I set a stretch goal of $1M — and realized I'd already hit it."
Last year I brought in about $350,000, the most we'd ever raised. As I was writing this year's goal, I thought "what the hell, I'll put a million." And as I was typing it in, I realized I'd already raised a million this year.
Jim H.
Executive Director
"Closed the largest individual gift in our history — $500K."
We just closed a $500,000 one-time gift from an individual donor. This is our largest individual giving gift to date. It brings a lot of promise as we continue to build our individual giving strategy.
Marvin V.
Director of Development
"Fully in the black for the first time. $10K new donor. $200K in the pipeline."
I don't know if it was just the magic of being blessed by Rhea — but my org will finally be operating a budget year fully in the black for the first time since I started this role. A new $10K donor appeared last month. And I just learned a foundation is recommending a $200K over two-year grant.
