Asking boldly helps your organization address the problem it seeks to solve while honoring donors. Here’s how to feel more confident in your asking.
Major gifts and planned giving teams unite! Approach this year-end as a unified team to drive your mission forward and bring your donors joy.
When it comes to giving, don’t make decisions for donors! Bring the problem and solution to the donor. Let them decide their level of support.
In these six scenarios, permission-based asking can give you the confidence to have a meaningful conversation with your donor at year-end.
It may feel counterintuitive, but talking about the problem that your non-profit is organized to address is the real way to motivate giving.
