Our organization is sustained by contributions and grants from supporters. An effective board understands that it must take an active role in raising money, regardless of the amount of time the Executive Director devotes to resource development. The performance of board and staff in this area is intimately linked to the ability the trustees have to open doors, influence potential donors, and otherwise monitor and guide fund development initiatives. Effective fund development provides an avenue for linking a wider audience to the mission of Empowered Girls.
