Expand role of development committee as organization matures

Abstract

It's common for nonprofit boards of all sizes to have a fundraising committee—also known as a fund development committee—to take on various fundraising tasks. But the day‐to‐day responsibilities of this committee should change with time, according to fundraising experts. In short, as the organization grows in size and maturity, the development committee should transition from conducting the actual, on‐the‐ground donor solicitations to focusing on longer‐term revenue streams and the organization's big‐picture fiscal health.
