## Resource

If your board feels hesitant—or invisible—when it comes to fundraising, the problem may not be motivation… it may be altitude. In this episode of Huddle Up with Mark The Fund Coach, I’m breaking down why boards stuck in the weeds of day-to-day operations are far less effective in fundraising—and how elevating them to 30,000 feet unlocks their most powerful role: opening doors to people with capacity. When board members focus on mission, vision, and strategy instead of operations, they gain the confidence to leverage their relationships—and that’s where major gifts begin. Tune in, and let’s huddle up!
