3) Assuming a midsize nonprofit with development staff, which of the following is NOT a Board member’s fundraising responsibility?
a) To make a financial contribution to the extent of his or her capacity.
b) To solicit contributions from his or her friends, relatives and colleagues.
c) To assist with the recruitment of new board members with the clout and connections to ensure the success of the fundraising effort.
d) To draft a grant proposal to a foundation where a colleague sits on the board.
Answer: d
Board members should not be expected to draft grant proposals; that is the job of the development staff. However, if they know board members of the foundation they can and should place a call letting them know an organization of which they sit on the board is submitting a proposal. All the other options are part of the board members’ responsibilities.
