Effective board fundraising is more essential than ever — yet 2 out of 3 organizations surveyed by BVU last month said their board members are not actively engaged as fundraisers or ambassadors. Let's change that. 📅 Join BVU on Wednesday, September 24 for “Demystifying Fundraising for Board Members” — a hybrid seminar packed with strategies to make board fundraising effective, fulfilling, and even fun! Led by national fundraising expert Ronald Horvat, the session will help boards: ✅ Debunk common misconceptions and fears ✅ Turn personal stories into warm introductions ✅ Identify the “right” donors ✅ Express meaningful gratitude to current donors ✅ Build a sustainable pipeline of support Details: 📍 In-person at MAGNET or Virtual via Zoom 💲 $40 Members | $80 Nonmembers 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/e6Ga8q8T 🎟️ Please choose your attendance format when registering.

We can't wait for this free discussion on August 20th! As LaRese Purnell, MBA shared, "It’s time to fill some board seats with all the amazing talent that is here in our city and make sure our community’s voice is heard and at the table. Standing on Business is a more relevant statement than ever before." Register here to join us: https://lnkd.in/ejXVUCEv

We recently connected University Hospitals' home care employees with a volunteer project at MedWish Medworks, an organization that repurposes surplus medical supplies to provide humanitarian aid around the world. ♻️🩺🌍 Their project lead called it a "rewarding experience," sharing that the team "strengthened their bond while supporting a mission that extends far beyond their daily roles." Thank you for working with BVU to make a bigger difference! 👏💜 #BVUVolunteers #TeamVolunteerProject
