Breaking Tradition: Why It's Time to Ditch the Board Minimum

Update: 2023-04-14

Description

In this episode, I will discuss the common practice among nonprofits requiring a minimum donation from board members. Depending on the organization, this requirement can range from $1,000 to $10,000. However, I'm here to challenge this tradition and urge you that it's time to ditch the board minimum. You might be surprised by this suggestion, or you have completely fallen out of your chair! Tune in for a fresh strategic perspective on board giving.
