When a board member takes 60 seconds to call, write, or record a short thank-you, it’s not just polite — it’s powerful fundraising energy. It’s also one of the easiest, least-intimidating, and most feel-good ways for them to engage. Seriously, who doesn’t love saying thank you? No sweaty palms, no asking for money — just joy, gratitude, and connection. Does your board know why it matters and the incredible value they bring when they do it?
