A structured mentorship program that pairs seasoned fundraising leaders with emerging ones can be a powerful way to foster confidence and competency. Beyond mentorship, providing lay leaders with formal training in fundraising principles and best practices is crucial. Nonprofits must meet this expectation by creating digital fundraising strategies that engage lay leaders where they are-online. To truly engage the next generation of lay leaders, nonprofits must reconsider their organizational structures and leadership models. Engaging the next generation of lay leaders in fundraising is not only a strategic imperative for nonprofit organizations but also an opportunity to tap into a wealth of creativity, energy and passion.
