Latest AHA Trustee Insights Outlines Fundraising as a Growth Strategy

The May edition of Trustee Insights, a monthly digital publication from the American Hospital Association, explores how fundraising can serve as a low-risk growth strategy for hospitals and health systems.

One article focuses on the financial and strategic value of philanthropy, describing how reinvestment through well-planned campaigns can deliver meaningful returns. It includes guiding questions for boards on how to evaluate and strengthen their organization’s fundraising approach.

Another article examines how organizational culture influences compliance effectiveness. It introduces the concept of the “say-do” ratio, highlighting gaps between what leaders say and what they do, and explores how leadership behavior, accountability and incentives contribute to a strong compliance program.
