Teaching Philosophy

    Jane B. Ford is a dedicated and experienced nonprofit teacher who believes that the health of an organization is reflected in committed boards, dedicated volunteers, skilled staff, and strong balance sheets.

      She has helped hundreds of board members better understand their roles and responsibilities in governing organizations they believe in.  Jane is committed to ensuring that people who volunteer their time to serve on nonprofits both understand their responsibilities and serve their organizations with joy and passion.

      Fundraising is a key board responsibility and Jane believes that people can enjoy raising money for causes they believe in – once they understand the process. With more than thirty years of successful experience in working with community-based and faith-based nonprofits, Jane shares her skills, knowledge and successes with boards and staffs of nonprofits who want to ensure the fiscal stability needed to support their organizations.
