Board Chairs Academy Session #5 - Resource Development

RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT: Building Community Equity for Sustainable Community Impact. Sustainable resource development is the product of a fundraising culture. This session challenges participants to analyze their current fundraising cultures and discuss a board’s responsibilities for creating and edifying a successful resource development environment. The program will include a fundraising assessment, fundraising myths and laws, a marketing-based approach to resource development, and creation of action plans.

Board Chairs Academy is a six-month online learning and virtual community experience to help board members of charitable organizations, associations and congregations excel at providing strategic governance to their favorite causes.

Board Chairs Academy presents six learning modules associated with evolving a nonprofit board. Each module begins with a 90-minute online presentation accompanied by a participant guide of handouts, readings and exercises. Concepts are then applied through the completion of specific assignments over a two-week period. Each module concludes with a second 90-minute online session that provides a brief review of the topic, invites discussion about the assignments, and uses small and large group interaction for participants to share their learning.

The Board Chairs Academy is a cohort learning program introduced by Third Sector Company in 2006. Over 400 organizations have participated in the United States and Canada.

Third Sector Company, Inc. is committed to advancing justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion as foundational to its programs.

We acknowledge and honor the fundamental value and dignity of all people; and we pledge our individual and organizational efforts to build respect, dignity, caring, and equitable treatment for all. As an organization, we are committed to transforming the world into one that promotes social justice and freedom from oppression, including but not limited to, racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, ageism, and ableism.

Thus, we aim to be adaptable, actively anti-racist, embracing cultural differences, and to be accessible for people who are differently resourced and differently abled. Since we do not want financial hardship to be a barrier to participation, there are several seats reserved in each of our fee-based programs for confidentially awarded scholarships. We encourage those from historically underserved communities to apply.
