What is the role of the board of trustees in fundraising?  
Barry McLeish by by Jeff McLinden, MJI USA

It is known fact that the role of the board of trustees is one of the most argued issues in the charity sector, including Christian ones. In reality, far too many trustees simply do not have the proper understanding of what is expected of them.

And, too few are able to see beyond the surface issues of "oversight and approval" to the critical role they should play in the fundraising functions of the organisation they serve.

Beyond the collective activities of the board, every individual member can play a significant role to ensure that the organisation they serve raises sufficient resources to fulfil its strategic mission.
