Why Board Members Should Make Personal Donations

As Thanksgiving approaches, we take a moment to express gratitude for you—our listeners and viewers. In this episode of I 501(c) You, Michael shares why year-end is the perfect time for nonprofit board members to reflect on their commitment to the organizations they serve.

Michael explains why every board member should make a personal donation—not through their business, but in their own name. He outlines three key reasons: demonstrating commitment, empowering fundraisers, and meeting critical funder expectations.

Tune in for this timely reminder about the impact of personal giving as a board member, and join us in giving thanks for the incredible work nonprofit organizations do year-round.
