When seeking grants, the more established
and active your organization is, the better. Having a mission statement
and instituting a board of directors are very important steps towards
this end.
Board members are valuable for several reasons:
- they contribute to your organization financially
- they provide valuable connections to other potential funders
- they offer advice on managing and running your organization
- they help organize events and plan fundraising
- they shape the organization's mission and purpose
Potential board members are people who are interested in your organization's
cause and programming, and who have the necessary life and professional
experience to provide the valuable resources and advice you will
need.

the Donors
Forum Library.
