Beyond Five Names: Growing Awareness Through Connection, Not Obligation

$0.00

February 26, 2026 3:00 PM EST , via Zoom

Many of us have been part of the well-intentioned but uncomfortable request for board members to “give us five names.” In reality, building awareness works best when it’s rooted in genuine connection - not obligation. Board members are uniquely positioned to help introduce new people to your organization’s work, yet many boards struggle to define what that role looks like in practice.

In this free workshop, we’ll explore how board members and staff can work together to build awareness and grow your organization’s mailing list in realistic, relationship-based ways. Participants will learn why awareness is a critical part of the donor journey, how board members can contribute without feeling like fundraisers, and what simple support staff can provide to make board involvement effective and sustainable.

This workshop offers a more human, relationship-based approach to growing awareness - one that feels natural for board members and sustainable for staff.
