Making Effective Donor Asks

“The Permission-Based Asking method makes so much sense and is a model for all relationships, office or otherwise. The course materials were great, and the assignments were helpful to keep me focused. I would recommend “Making Effective Donor Asks” to any MGO regardless of experience level, because it does help really put the donor first as a partner. You learn how to build long term, mutually satisfying relationships.”

“l loved this course! Last Friday, I implemented their strategy of approaching a donor ask from the standpoint of the need first and it worked wonders. I had a donor solicitation meeting at 3:30 pm that day and came away with the gift! This is a donor others have tried to engage and commit for over 2 years. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“The course was fantastic; this method and process of asking really speaks to me and feels so much more natural. I will absolutely be implementing this method into all of our asks and cultivation practices.

The Integration Plan and the practice worksheet will be put to great use as I start back at the basics and build our major gift program into what it always should have been! Jeff and Richard’s teachings are insightful, thoughtful, and full of love. I finally feel at home in fundraising in how and what they teach.”
