The purpose of a fundraising communications toolkit for board members is to provide them with the “tools” that they need to effectively raise funds for your organization. As board members are often in a face-to-face situation where they are speaking with potential donors on behalf of the organization, this recommended toolkit focuses on providing key information about the organization to board members, often in a script format or a concise document with easily-digestible bullet points. Information of this kind needs to be provided in spoken language, not written language, so that it is easy for board members to use the information in conversation.
