The weak economy has nonprofit organizations searching for creative ways to raise money.

For many institutions, the first step is getting board members to increase their efforts to solicit money. But that is tough, especially at a time when many trustees are worried about their own financial security.

How can your organization best inspire board members to solicit donations? What are other organizations doing to build better relationships with their board members?

To answer these questions, the Chronicle will conduct a live online discussion tomorrow at noon Eastern time.

The live discussion is free and readers are encourage to submit their questions ahead of time.

As part of this discussion, we also invite you to share your tips on how to persuade board members to participate in your fund-raising efforts.

Please feel free to share you ideas in the comment field below — and we’ll include them in the discussion.
